2. DNA Tagging Project(with C. X. Berni, C. Kingsford) We made improvements to SAGE tagging to allow the technology to be applied to universal DNA hybridization arrays. Also, developed simulation software for the improved tagging process with a highly interactive graphic interface.

3. (Previous) Chief scientist of Rtware, 1995-1999, which produces real-time control software which is currently used for both commercial and military applications; military customers include the Airforce and Navy. RTware has received a Phase I SBIR from ONR, It was bought out by Datacode (a large hardware corporation) in 1999.

4.   (Previous) President of RSIC Associates, which received a Phase I and Phase II NASA Small Business Innovation Research Grant to build very high rate (.20 gigabit/second) lossless data compression hardware system that was successfully demonstrated. The multiprocessor chip (1.2 micron CMOS with approx. 330,000 transistors and with 128 specialized systolic processor cells per chip) was been fabricated and tested. A number of compression boards, each containing 16 of these chips, have been running since spring, 1992 and can be used by remote login to MCNC. In collaboration with Professor Jim Storer of Brandeis University. VLSI design by Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, NC in 1989. Board Level Design by MCNC, NC.
