My research interests include computer architecture, parallel processing, parallel programming languages and environments, computer applications in biology.

Kevin Karplus and I have created a BS in Bioinformatics program, now part of the new Department of Biomolecular Engineering

Here are talks on the bioengineering and bioinformatics B.S. degree programs.

My research projects include:

• The UCSC Kestrel Parallel Processor
  Supercomputer performance at a fraction of the cost.
• SAM: Sequence Alignment and Modeling System
  Linear hidden Markov models for protein and nucleotide analysis.

Here's an introduction to bioinformatics and biomolecular engineering at UCSC (ppt).

I have a directory of TeX files with a README file indexing the whole thing, and a documentation directory that contains the answers to many frequently asked questions (such as my discussion of mouse avoidance and a list of things to check before giving me writing to read), so please take a look!
