ARL Division of Biotechnology Computing Facility

I'm the Manager of Scientific Data Analysis for the ARL Biotechnology Computing Facility. I conduct Computing Workshops for Life Scientists, develop code for collaborators, and assist with High-Throughput Computing tasks and microarray data analysis. With Nirav Merchant, I have co-authored a chapter on Bioinformatics Programming in David Mount's Bioinformatics text book.

I'm an Applications Systems Analyst with a background in both molecular biology and computer programing. I have been working with the BCF since Nov. 2006. I design, develop, and manage robust LIMS (laboratory information systems) to organize data generated by GATC 's high-throughput, automated workflows. Our systems pair reliable and scalable back-end databases with easy to use web interfaces for our end users. BCF LIMS help ensure the quality and efficiency of laboratory workflows by supporting the following areas:
- sample and inventory management
- assay results data archival, retrieval, quality control, and analysis
- automated reaction setup
- automated sample cherry picking
- billing

I am an Electrical Engineering student at the university and have been working with the BCF since early 2007. My specialties include but are not limited to: programming, web development and automation.
When I first arrived here I had a decent general knowledge of most everything computer related, since starting in February of 2007 I have gained quite a lot more knowledge that has filled in gaps and details of things I had learned on my own before working here.
