You can see a list of my publications with many of them online. My general area of research is the theoretical foundations of data management (databasetheory.org). An added focus is data management as a crucial service to AI, as well as making data management more intelligent in itself.

Slides of some of my talks may be online...

Check out my papers on DNA computing! Here is a great cartoon on DNA computers. There is a good popular science introduction to Natural Computing.
