Michael L. Raymer

Biosketch: Michael L. Raymer graduated in 1991 from Colorado State University with a B.S. degree in Computer Science.  For the following two years, he worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.  In 1993 he left Los Alamos to pursue graduate studies at Michigan State University, where he obtained an M.S. Degree in Computer Science in 1995, and a Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science and Engineering in 2000.  His work at Michigan State was directed at developing algorithms to analyze and predict interactions between proteins and water molecules.  He is currently an associate professor of computer science and engineering at Wright State University, a member of the faculty of the Biomedical Sciences program, and co-founder and Senior Systems Engineer for Forensic Bioinformatic Services, Inc.  Michael's research group at Wright State develops algorithms to identify patterns in biological data sets, and exploit these patterns to predict the behavior of biological systems. Michael is the principal coordinator of the undergraduate program in bioinformatics at Wright State University, one of the first such programs in the nation to be funded by the National Science Foundation. He is co-author of the textbook "Fundamental Concepts of Bioinformatics", the first undergraduate textbook in bioinformatics, available from Benjamin Cummings publishers.
