Research Interests
My research interests fall under the broad categories of computational science (biology, physics and chemistry) and high performance computing. I'm currently pursuing three projects.- Non-parametric Prediction: I am working on extending QBETS (a service for the prediction of batch queue wait times using non-parametric statistical techniques, written by Dan Nurmi et al) to a more general setting, so that it can be used on arbitrary time series, but especially on time series of interest to high performance computing.
- Multi-telescope Scheduling: I am collaborating with LCOGT, a non-profit building a robotic telescope network, on the design & implementation of the scheduler for their network. (I have a 20% appointment in the Physics Dept. to work on this project.)
- Provenance & Cloud: I am in the early stages of thinking about the challenges and opportunities that the wider adoption of cloud computing in science brings with it. I am especially interested in provenance and scientific repeatability, and how they will be affected (I think positively) due to this transition.
In the past I have worked on topics as diverse as single cell fluorescence microscopy, bacterial signal transduction, stochastic simulation of chemical kinetics, protein folding and traditional computer science systems.
My dissertation was on Space in Discrete Stochastic Simulation of Chemical Kinetics, and was every bit as grand as it sounds!
I often blog about sailing, climbing and wine, and, more infrequently, about my work.
