About Me
As of March 2011, I am a PhD candidate at the University of Notre Dame, in the CSE department. I got my Bachelors in Computer Science from Northern Michigan University in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - a truly marvelous place to live.
My CV (Updated January 22, 2012).
If you'd like to see some of my past projects and various other things I find interesting, feel free to visit my actual homepage.
That's me taking a break from catching butterflies in Oregon. As you can see, I'm also an amatuer photographer.
Research Interests
I currently work with the ND Bioinformatics Laboratory, with a focus on population genomics for non-model species.
Previously, I've worked on Online Algorithms and theory, in particular applying them to problems in finance and inventory management such as the newsvendor problem.
Teaching
CS60132 - Basic Computing for Bioinformatics
I designed and taught a two to three credit course, offered in the Computer Science dept. to Biology graduate students and facult, focusing on developing computer science skills useful for practicing
biologists (including unix/linux, logging into, installing and running software on remote machines, next generation data exploration and analysis, and pipelines and programming).
