Description:
I am currently working on several projects in algorithms and bioinformatics
(with one research funding from NSF and another one from NSF of China). One of the problems is to dynamically
label a set of sites (to put a label indicating whether it is good for
cross-country skiing), this is from GIS applications. For bioinformatics areas,
I am currently working on realistic computation of genomic distances (like with
gene repetitions), ancestral genome analysis based on PQ-trees, and protein structure alignment using the discrete Frechet distance.
Support:
The research on protein structure alignment (using discrete Frechet distance) is currently supported by National Science Foundation.
Opportunities:
If you are a student (at any level) who likes challenge, there is always a
chance to participate in these projects (possibly with some financial support).
