Experimental Projects: Hardware, Software and Biochemistry1. (Current) President of Eagle Eye, Inc., a small business based in the Research Triangle, NC. It was originally engaged in reconnaissance multi-spectral image target recognition. EagleEye, Inc. now specializes in contract research in the areas of defense applications of DNA biotechnology. Eagle Eye, Inc. has executed a number of federal research contracts over the last three years. In 2000, Eagle Eye developed (in collaboration with M. Pirrung, Dept of Chemistry, Duke Univ.) a biomolecular system for associative search in pedabit size DNA libraries. 2. DNA Tagging Project(with C. X. Berni, C. Kingsford) We made improvements to SAGE tagging to allow the technology to be applied to universal DNA hybridization arrays. Also, developed simulation software for the improved tagging process with a highly interactive graphic interface. 3. (Previous) Chief scientist of Rtware, 1995-1999, which produces real-time control software which is currently used for both commercial and military applications; military customers include the Airforce and Navy. RTware has received a Phase I SBIR from ONR, It was bought out by Datacode (a large hardware corporation) in 1999. 4. (Previous) President of RSIC Associates, which received a Phase I and Phase II NASA Small Business Innovation Research Grant to build very high rate (.20 gigabit/second) lossless data compression hardware system that was successfully demonstrated. The multiprocessor chip (1.2 micron CMOS with approx. 330,000 transistors and with 128 specialized systolic processor cells per chip) was been fabricated and tested. A number of compression boards, each containing 16 of these chips, have been running since spring, 1992 and can be used by remote login to MCNC. In collaboration with Professor Jim Storer of Brandeis University. VLSI design by Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, NC in 1989. Board Level Design by MCNC, NC. Also funded by DARPA/ISTO for MOSES fabrication by HP. RSIC Associates has received contracts totaling $1,200,000 from various defense agencies, for the development of this hardware. 5. Co-architect of BLITZEN (with Ed Davis), a 16,000 processor Massively Parallel Machine under NASA contract at Microelectronics Center of North Carolina (MCNC). The main component of the system was a BLITZEN chip, consisting of 128 bit serial processors (.25 gigabits/second). This chip is 1.2 micron CMOS and has 1,100,000 transistors, making it the largest (nonmemory) chip manufactured in the world during early 1989. The chip is tested and functional. A prototype BLITZEN system has been running since spring, 1989. See Publications (references #73,76). 6. Inventor of Holographic Based Message Routing Systems for Massively Parallel Machines. The prototype was constructed under DARPA Contract by Kristina Johnson at the Center for Electro-Optical Computing Systems, Boulder, CO, April 2, 1989. See Publications (reference #80). 7. Implementation (in collaboration with Charles Leiserson, Jill Mesirov, Lena Nekluvova, Steven Omohandro, and Washington Tayler) of Parallel Nested Dissection Algorithms for Solution of Large Sparse Linear Systems on the 64,000 process Connection Machine. Thinking Machines, Inc., Cambridge, MA, 1985-1986. See Publications (reference #62). 8. Implementation (in collaboration with John Dorband and Torstein Opsahl) of Parallel Nested Dissection on 16,000 Processor Massively Parallel Processing Machine (MPP), NASA Goddard Space Center, Greenbelt, MD, 1985-1986. See Publications (reference #63). Patents
