General information

I'm a Canadian Institutes of Health Research -funded doctoral student. I utilize the message passing interface to solve computational problems in genomics.

I started using Linux in 2003 with Red Hat 9. I am currently using Fedora 17 on a Thinkpad x230.

I am interested in the Fedora Science and Technology Special Interest Group.
