William Livernois
I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Washington, having recently completing my PhD dissertation on quantum phenomena in biological systems. My research focuses on computational modeling of quantum transport in biological materials, particularly the development of novel spin-dependent transport models for multi-heme cytochromes and metal-modified DNA structures with applications in green electronics.
