Director, Computational Biosciences

Renaut, Rosemary Director,
Computational Biosciences; Professor, Mathematics and Statistics.
Research: computational algorithms for the effective utilization of imaging modalities (e.g., PET) in the study of Alzheimer's Disease. The design of efficient, scalable algorithms for image deformation, reconstruction, and quantitative analysis (with Computer Science and Good Samaritan PET Center), parallel algorithms. Curriculum development: undergraduate and graduate Computational Mathematical Sciences program, including new courses in Parallel Computers, Spectral Methods, as well as a complete revision of the major undergraduate Numerical Analysis courses and Numerical Linear Algebra.
