Biography

Dr. Heymann graduated from Purdue University in 1995 with a Ph.D. in biochemistry. He returned to Switzerland where he worked as a postdoctoral fellow Andreas Engel on the red blood cell aquaporin in collaboration with Peter Agre (Nobel laureate). Research interest in Electron microscopy (EM) offers a method to determine the three-dimensional (3D) structure of biomolecules, large molecular assemblies, organelles and other cellular components. To do so, we integrate two-dimensional (2D) micrographs (images taken by electron microscopy) or parts thereof into 3D volumes using sophisticated computational methods.

A Finite Difference Model for the Thermal History of the Earth

The present study is an investigation of the thermal history of the earth using heat transfer modeling. Assuming that the earth was a hot ball at a homogeneous temperature upon its formation, the model makes the following two predictions about conditions 4.5 Ga later (the earth's approximate present age): (i) there will be a geothermal gradient wit...
