My research and teaching focus on control analysis and design of computational and biological systems, and model engineering, the application of techniques from software engineering to biological models to improve their credibility and reuse. My work on control engineering of computing systems has been used in products at IBM, Microsoft, and Google, and has had thousands of research citations. Since joining the University of Washington, I have been focusing on the analysis of biological systems. Examples include predicting the phenotypes of microbe communities and improving the scale and robustness of model building in biology by incorporating technologies used in software engineering . At UW, I have developed and taught several courses: "Molecular Biology for Computer Scientists," "Software Development for Data Scientists", "Computational Systems Biology for BioMedical Applications", and "Advanced Controls for Biological Systems." My primary collaborators are in Chemical Engineering, BioEngineering, and Civil Engineering.
