Research
My primary research interests are applications, languages, and query processing for
database systems. I also have an interest in computer science education
research and curricular innovation.
Here are links to a few of my publications that are available online; other
publications are available upon request. Please
email me if you want to talk
about my research.
"Multiway modeling and analysis in stem cell systems biology",
with Bulent Yener, Evrim Acar, Phaedra Agius, Kristin Bennett, and George E Plopper, BMC Systems Biology
2(63), 14 Jul 2008.
“Proteomics reveals multiple routes to the osteogenic phenotype in
mesenchymal stem cells”, with Kristin P Bennett, Charles Bergeron,
Evrim Acar, Robert F Klees, Bulent Yener, and George E Plopper, BMC Genomics, 8:380 (19 Oct 2007).
"Laminin-5 Activates Extracellular
Matrix Production and Osteogenic Gene Focusing in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells", with
R. Klees, R. Salasznyk, K. Bennett, and G. Plopper, Matrix Biology 26(2):106-114, March 2007.
I developed the web site for the preceding paper, which includes dozens of value-added items that would not fit in the paper: interactive gene ontology
reports, and other web pages presenting a complete picture of the data used
in preparing the paper. This was all generated from the database I designed
to hold the raw data.
"Focusing of Gene
Expression
as the Basis of Stem Cell Differentiation", with R. Salasznyk,
A. Westcott, R. Klees, K. Bennett, and G. Plopper, Stem Cells and Development,
14(6):608-620, December 2005.

"Comparing the Proteomes of
Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Human Osteoblasts using Gene Ontologies", with
R. Salasznyk, A. Westcott, R. Klees, D. Ward, Z. Xiang, K. Bennett, and G. Plopper,
Stem Cells and Development, 14(4):354-66, August 2005.
