Biography
I am interested in the interface between biology and computer science. This area is now recognized as "Bioinformatics". I have an interest in controlling scientific instruments with the computer. As an undergraduate at ASU I met a chemistry professor with a project that required these skills. This gave me the opportunity to teach myself programming using a powerful graphical language called LabVIEW. Here at UALR I studied data structures in C and Motorola assembly language and further developed my LabVIEW skills. I have been interested in genetic programming (Darwinian programming) since finding a book on the subject by John Koza. I also have a strong interest in the field of in-vitro evolution. My current research focuses on applying bioinformatic/data mining techniques to this field. My specific goals are to develop an automated system for in-vitro evolution toward the development of molecular electronics from carbon nanotubes and catalytic DNA (DNAzymes).
