Genomics focuses on the sequences in our genomes and how they encode for function in our cells. Predicting how sequences will be interpreted by the cell is important for identifying disease-causing mutations and for designing therapies.

Program comprehension is crucial in software engineering, a necessary step for performing many tasks. However, the implicit and intricate relations between program entities hinder comprehension of program behaviour and can easily lead to bugs. It is particularly challenging to understand and debug modern programming languages such as JavaScript, due to their dynamic, asynchronous, and event-driven nature.

Years ago I co-designed a course called Environmental Informatics, AMATH/EARTH 310, which has since disappeared. The idea of this course was to bring applied math and earth science students together to learn about problems that overlap these two fields. One topic that I taught was chaos.
