Professor
Ph.D., UC Berkeley, 1980
My primary interests
involve the efficiency of algorithms, particularly
for problems in combinatorial optimization and graph theory.
These algorithms have been applied to study data
security, stable matching, network flow, matroid optimization,
string/pattern matching problems, molecular sequence analysis, and optimization problems
in population-scale genomics. Currently, I am
focused on string and combinatorial problems that arise in
computational biology and bioinformatics. I served as chair of the computer science
department at UCD from July 2000 until August 2004, and was the
founding Editor-in-Chief of
The IEEE/ACM Transactions of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics until January 2009.
