Brief Bio

Besides my university activities, I enjoy exploring the mountains around Bozeman and elsewhere with my wife Susan and our two kids. We also enjoy the excellent symphony and opera in Bozeman and I like to play bridge when I can find the time.

Research

My research interests are broadly in applied algorithms, with specific interests in computational biology and networks-related problems.  Current projects include:

  • Pangenomic data analysis: joint with Indika Kahanda (Univ. North Florida), Thiru Ramaraj (DePaul Univ.), Alan Cleary (National Center for Genome Resources) and Joann Mudge (National Center for Genome Resources)
  • Metabolic network analysis: joint with Ron June (MSU) and Ross Carlson (MSU)
  • Network flow decomposition problems: joint with Lucia Williams (MSU)
  • Biofilm data fusion: joint with David Millman (MSU)

Most of my publications can be found via: Google scholar, ResearchGate.
