Dr. Christopher Oehmen
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory - Sr. Research Scientist
Chris Oehmen is currently involved in several high-performance computing applications for bioinformatics and computational biology. He leads the ScalaBLAST project, which is a highly scalable implementation of the NCBI BLAST algorithm for use on clusters and large-scale supercomputers. In conjunction with the Joint Genome Institute, ScalaBLAST is being used to perform the large-scale biosequence comparisons needed to maintain the Integrated Microbial Genome (IMG). ScalaBLAST is also being used by several other university and DOE Laboratory groups for a broad range of biological research.
Dr. Oehmen is also involved in machine learning in the context of Data Intensive Computing applications in biology and other areas. He views data intensive computing as a valuable path to solving some classes of problems which have undesirable scaling characteristics using conventional flop-based methods. For problems where having a small memory footprint requires large-scale data moving (repeatedly reading large files for instance), the push toward flop-intensive computing offers diminishing returns. He and his colleagues are exploring examples of this class of problems, such as training binary classifiers using Support Vector Machine implementations with an emphasis on improving time to solution by taking advantage of large-scale aggregate system memory on cluster or shared memory platforms.
Research Interests
* High throughput bioinformatics and memory management optimization for this problem space
* Applications and implementations of support vector machines to binary classification in data-intensive problems
* High-performance computing and optimization
