My passion and main research area is the development of efficient algorithms to extract insight from *-omics data. This puts my research squarely at the intersection of biology, computer science, and mathematics. I am particularly interested in the entire arc of developing a computational biology method: rigorous mathematical justification of a method, implementing the method into a tool usable by the community, applying the tool to pressing scientific problems, and finally using the results to inform further development of computational techniques.

I have spent the majority of my career developing such computational techniques. During this time, I have predominantly worked on the analysis of metagenomic data, reference/alignment-free analysis of genomic data, probabilitic data analysis, and knowledge representation and reasoning with graph databases.

Current hobbies include astrophotography, PC gaming, and finding fun regiounal cuisine recipes to make for my wife and daughter.
