Artificial Life

Sourceforge Project

I developed some software a few years back. I’m in the process of moving my Discrete Network Dynamics over to SourceForge for others to use. It can be used for analyzing the state spaces of multi-state discrete time discrete dynamical systems, usually associated with gene regulatory networks. You can find the project here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/discretenetwork/ it is still in progress, but I’m hoping to slowly accumulate the necessary documentation to make it usable to the scientific community.

Returning To Action

In an attempt to return to an idea of open source science, I’m trying to get back to maintaining this site. I’m taking my qualifying exams at the end of August. I’ll be looking at social effects in decision making, speed and accuracy tradeoffs in deception and deception detection in animals, and effects of structure on diffusion and epidemics.

To The Biosphere!

I headed back to the Biosphere last week to attend iPlant’s workshop on cyberinfrastructure design. It was an interesting gathering and the talks were very enlightening in a, “I wish we’d known that when we were starting, too.” sort of way. I caught up with some of the people from the last workshop I attended and met some new people with whom I shared research interests.

An Early Monday Morning

I’ve been working on collecting a body of literature dealing with social contagion such as smoking, obesity, sexual behavior, and the like, and I’ve inadvertently stumbled upon some pretty cool studies dealing with false perceptions and memory. I’m going to have spend more time looking at it, but right now I’m only giving things a quick glance.

I’m cataloging and tagging everything I find as part of data collection for the EPiC Project I’m working on with the folks over at the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center, who are the same folks I was working with when I was working on the Network Workbench project. While I’m still listed as a programmer, I’m only assisting the programming team. My main job is research and as an intermediary between Jim Sherman and the developer team. I’m still participating in the developer meetings, but I’m more involved in translating requirements than actual programming, at least at this point in time.

Another One

I’m traveling to Arizona at the end of September to attend the iPlant Collaborative Grand Challenge Workshop. I’m working on a presentation with David Bubenheim of NASA on visualizing spatial and temporal data. We’ll presenting at Biosphere 2, which is incredibly cool.

I have a good friend that is a plant biologist and when I discussed the idea he was quite excited. I’m interested for different reasons, mostly because I think the development of open community tools to facilitate the sharing of information is cool. It drives a lot of my interests and why, as part of my research, I try to make the techniques I use available to the wider public. It is what attracted me to the Network Workbench project in the first place. Being able to take part in this effort as it gets started is a great honor. Oh, and I also get to go to Biosphere 2.

New Projects

t34k3ttl3 — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:20:42 +0000

I’ve started a couple of new projects. I’m reading about Auxin receptors in preparation for a collaboration with the Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics at Indiana University and Keithanne Mockaitis. I’m also working with Qunfeng Dong from the same center on a method for detecting Chimeric Clones in assembled EST Data.

A Self-photo

Greetings, and welcome to my personal, professional blog. I’m working on it to share knowledge with other people that are interested in the same areas, as well as gain additional insights from people that are outside my areas of expertise.

The About Me section has an informal list of my work and interests and a list of my Publications, Projects, and Presentations, has a more formal listing. You can also see the Coursework that I’ve done.

I’ll be adding additional thoughts about the research I’m doing here on this page, while, the other two sections will be updated less regularly.
