 I would call myself an applied  <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/research-samples/theory.html"> theoretical computer scientist</a>. My current work is in  <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/590bi/">computational biology</a>. At the moment I am looking at the problem of  physical mapping; building a rough map of the location of landmarks in a genome.  Generally speaking I am interested in using CS theory and math to solve reasonably practical problems. I have also done some work in computational astrophysics with the  <a href="http://www-hpcc.astro.washington.edu/">HPCC/ESS group</a> here at UW. <p>
