My name is Dennis Brookner, and I completed my Ph.D. in Doeke Hekstra's lab in the Harvard Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology in 2025. I'm interested in using the tools of X-ray crystallography to learn how protein structure and dynamics contribute to function. Our lab's work on the data-processing side of crystallography can be found as part of Reciprocal Space Station, including my python package matchmaps for computing non-isomorphous difference maps. I'm excited and passionate about contributing to open-source software development for scientific applications.

In my free time, I'm a contributer to Puntalytics, a twitter account devoted to using open-source football analytics tools (nflfastR and formerly nflscrapR) to study punting in the NFL.
