2010–2014 · Molecular
Energy landscapes and binding curves
Bench models map binding energy, transition states, and kinetic loss.
Signal: binding energy, activation barriers.
-
2014–2019 · Clinical
Workflow drag in care delivery
Field audits isolate bottlenecks and rewire queues, handoffs, and clicks.
Signal: time-on-task, rework loops.
-
2019–2023 · Defense
Guardrails for frontline clinicians
Defense stacks translate risk into guardrails and support systems.
Signal: exposure, volatility, loss.

2023–2025 · Institutional
Policy-scale burden and civic mechanics
Policy design traces compliance load to funding and mandates.
Signal: bureaucracy, compliance load.
Narrative strata
Clinical friction reduction
Clinical workflow engineering reduced administrative steps and queue lag in care delivery.
Systemic defense
Work addressed financial risk and system defenses for first-generation physicians.
Institutional mechanics
Work examined bureaucracy and policy, translating compliance requirements into measurable operational burden.
