[bionet.jobs] Computer scientist with biology background looking for a job

briscoe-duke@cs.yale.edu (Duke Briscoe) (05/16/91)

I have just finished graduate school in computer science with an
M.Phil. degree.  I have a BS in biology, where my main interest was
neurobiology, but I am somewhat knowledgeable about molecular biology.
I would like to hear of any research programming positions involving
artificial intelligence techniques or parallel computers.  In fact, if
you even expect you might have such positions open in the future I
would be interested to hear about it since I might make use of this
information again at some future time.  The best way to reach me is
through e-mail at briscoe@cs.yale.edu since you are likely to just get
an answering machine at the phone number given below.

OBJECTIVE
Development of software to support biological or chemical research,
involving artificial intelligence techniques or parallel computers.


EDUCATION
M.Phil., Computer Science, 1990, Yale University
The Master of Philosophy degree indicates that I have passed the Ph.D.
qualifying exams, but I am not completing a thesis.

BS, Computer Science, 1983, California Institute of Technology
BS, Biology, 1982, California Institute of Technology

National Merit Scholar


WORK EXPERIENCE
9/87 - present    Graduate student, Yale Computer Science Dept.
- Research assistant for the development of the Yale Haskell compiler.
- Teaching assistant for a compiler course.
- Classes emphasized programming languages and also artificial 
  intelligence.
- Research work on parallel functional languages.

8/85 - 8/87       Research Programmer, MITRE Corporation
- Designed and implemented a parallel object-oriented language,
  layered over BBN Butterfly parallel LISP.
- Designed and implemented an algorithm for parallel simulation.

8/83 - 8/85       Programmer, Beckman Instruments
- Designed and implemented locking protocol for a concurrent B-tree
  database.
- Investigated the use of expert systems for microbiology,
  and developed a small prototype using Intellicorp's KEE
  expert system shell on a Xerox LISP machine.
- Developed a LISP program for designing bacterial identification kits
  and then translated program to C for performance and portability.


FAMILIAR SYSTEMS AND LANGUAGES
LISP (sequential and parallel dialects), Emacs, C, Unix.  Symbolics
and Xerox LISP machines.  Sun workstations.
