We are an interdisciplinary group of researchers working on a broad range of problems at the cutting-edge intersection of computer engineering and bioinformatics. We like to work on problems that have enormous potential in biological and medical applications but where computational costs and speed impose a barrier. Specifically, our research mission is to develop parallel algorithms, software, and domain-specific hardware accelerators that enable faster and cheaper progress in biology and medicine. Applications include but are not limited to, pangenomics, phylogenetics, sequence alignment, comparative genomics, and outbreak analysis.
