Abhishek Mitra, Posdtdoc, UTMB at Galveston
I graduated with a Ph.D. from Dept. of CSE, UC Riverside, and am working as a Postdoc fellow (Bioinformatics) at University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston with my P.I. ->.

I work closely with Molecular biologists to help them analyze data from experiments that involve Next Generation Sequencing.

Some examples: a) mapping fragile sites in a genome b) identifying transcription factors from protein-dna interaction c) identifying gene expression.

Our ideal computational objective for NGS data in a nutshell is: ``Analysis of Terabytes of raw data using Teraflop systems with Kilobytes of code and in a few Kilo seconds.''

Major areas that I am involved in include: a) string matching b) regex matching c) multi-threading d) GPU e) statistical methods using GNU scientific library.

In my spare time I work, on correcting artifacts in ChIP-Seq input dna, by using certain physical properties of dna. Usually I use Linux, C++, boost libs, GSL, pthreads, Wikipedia, Matlab and R as tools.
