His research areas include High Performance Computing and Bioinformatics. He is currently working with professors from Computer Science and Integrative Biology on DNA analysis algorithms and applications. His specifi research area is Phylogenetic Analysis (determining evolutionary histories through the examination of DNA) which requires extensive network and computational resources. He has also been a Principle Investigator on the DOGMA system which allows clusters of workstations, supercomputers and idle desktop machines to participate in solving difficult computational problems.
