Great job Hunter and Richard, and to the other WWU student authors of those two publications.
March 2018 ... Elizabeth Brooks has been accepted to the PhD program in biological sciences at Notre Dame. She has been working in our lab with Graham Roberts, co-supervised by Ali Scoville of CWU, on a software suite of programs for exploring the effects of nonlinear developmental interactions. She and Graham presented their paper, ModEDI: An Extendable Software Architecture for Examining the Effects of Nonlinear Developmental Interactions on Evolutionary Trajectories, at the IEEE ICCABS conference in October 2017. Congrats Elizabeth!
December 2017 ... Kyle Daling presented his work, Contrained Sequence Alignment, to fulfill and satisfy the requirements for the Honors Program at WWU. More information is at WWU Honors, and Honors Presentation pages.
October 2017 ... graduate student Elizabeth Brooks and undergraduate student Graham Roberts presented their paper, ModEDI: An Extendable Software Architecture for Examining the Effects of Nonlinear Developmental Interactions on Evolutionary Trajectories, at the IEEE ICCABS 2017 conference in Orlando, Florida. Work is on-going, and we hope to submit a journal manuscript in the next year. Good job Elizabeth and Graham.
October 2017 ... Stephanie Mason won first place at the ACM undergraduate research competition (SRC) at the Grace Hopper Conference for her bioinformatics work currently underway in our lab. She's now a grand finals candidate. Well done Stephanie! And congrats to Ted, too, who also was honored. Stephanie's manuscript and a news article are available at the ACM Digital Library, and Western Today.
