Matthew Sottile, PhD Personal Webpage I am an adjunct assistant professor and research associate at the University of Oregon, Department of Computer and Information Science. Before Sept. 2007, I was a technical staff member at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the Computational Physics (CCS-2) and Advanced Computing Laboratory (CCS-1) groups. I was a member of the LANL Data Driven Modeling and Analysis Team and the LANL Cluster Research Laboratory. My research tends to focus on topics that fall at the intersection (or nearby) of the areas of scientific computing, image and data analysis, parallel algorithms, and programming languages. My background is computer engineering (PhD 2006), mathematics and computer science (MS 2001, BS 1999). An important area of computational science currently is the biological sciences. Matt’s work in this area focuses on programs and algorithms for analyzing biological data. This data is most often in the form of images, movies, and derived geometric structures (trees, spatial graphs, and solids). The goal of this analysis is to better understand the biological processes that underlie the observed data. He also works with models and simulations of biological systems to understand the underlying dynamics that lead to the macroscopic structures observed in living organisms. The modeling and analysis tasks are intrinsically coupled. Along with Matt’s collaboration efforts with Placental Analytics on collagen integrity and image analysis and metrics for histology slide processing, he is also working with UO Biology department on image processing problems from neuroscience. This image analysis work is applied to microscope images of C. elegans nematodes and zebrafish embryos. Matt also works with the UO Neuroinformatics center designing and building tools for distributed computing. The goal of this work is to insulate researchers from the details of resource management and programming of parallel and potentially distributed computational resources used to perform their analytical and modeling tasks.
