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.
