Description

Dr. Rakesh Kaundal and Dr. Dan Watson’s Presentation This assignment contains the following parts: Part I: Dr. Rakesh Kaundal’s Presentation Part II: Dr. Dan Watson’s Presentation Part I: Dr. Rakesh Kaundal’s Presentation Q1. The major areas of the presenter are as follows: 1. Bioinformatics 2. Computational Biology Q2. The names of the current and past projects done by the research group are as follows: 1. DNA Sequencing - This project was very appealing to me because of the capabilities it may bring to the world of biology. I am intrigued by the intensive work in the field of DNA and GNOME to understand the features and create hybrid plantations. Q3. The following are professors from other universities having the same research interests as the presenter. 1. Dr. Samir E. Abdelrahman - University of Utah 2. Dr. Karen Eilbeck - University of Utah Q4. The summarization of the two projects from the above-mentioned professors are as follows: 1. Dr. Samir E. Abdelrahman - University of Utah - Moonstone - I found this project to be very interesting in how can computers help in understanding the way computers work and how natural language processing can be a very helpful vehicle in biology. More about the project can be found in the link given above. 2. Dr. Karen Eilbeck - University of Utah - P  hevor Combines - I found this project very interesting in terms of the opportunities it provides in understanding the diseases and allergies that happen in small and nuclear families. More information regarding this project can be found in the link above.

Part II: Dr. Dan Watson Q1. The major areas of the presenter are as follows: 1. Algorithms for Massive Parallel Processors 2. Parallel Systems Q3. The following are professors from other universities having the same research interests as the presenter. 1. Hari Sundar - University of Utah 2. Robert Ricci - University of Utah

Q4. The summarization of the two projects from the above-mentioned professors are as follows: 1. Hari Sundar - University of Utah - E  fficient Parallel Streaming Algorithms - I found this project to be very interesting in the field of parallel processing, this technology can help in the field of networking and increasing the efficiency for companies and corporates who rely on networking equipment. More about this project can be found in the link above. 2. Robert Ricci - University of Utah - Parallel Packet Processing with GPUs and Click - This IEEE published paper does represent an amazing method to use the full potential of the GPUs. I find this project to be very interesting and I feel that this project can help a lot in the field of parallel processing. More about the project can be found in the above link.
