Dan Gusfield Ph.D., UC Berkeley, 1980 His primary interests involve the efficiency of algorithms, p

articularly for problems in combinatorial optimization and graph theory. These algorithms have been applied to study data security, stable matching, network flow, matroid optimization, string/pattern matching problems, molecular sequence analysis, and optimization problems in population-scale genomics.

He served as chair of the computer science department at UCD from July 2000 until August 2004, and am now the founding Editor-in-Chief of The IEEE/ACM Transactions of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.
