I am a computer engineer at the Center For Biomedical Imaging Technology (CBIT) at the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC). 

My efforts have been devoted to the development of a general framework for the modeling and simulation of cell physiology, The Virtual Cell.
 

Virtual Cell Development

The Virtual Cell software consists of a distributed computing infrastructure with client and server side java for the remote creation and manipulation of physiological models, and server side C++ for the simulation of modeling experiments.. 

(see VCell Development for further details)

Example of VCell technology: Symbolic Math Component 

This Java Bean (JDK 1.1) is useful for general manipulation of algebraic expressions within a Java application or applet.
  • parses general algebraic expressions including conditional logic and inequalities (BNF grammar). 
  • graphical formatting of expressions
  • algebraic simplifications
  • interpreted evaluation (including simple symbol table integration)
  • symbolic partial differentiation
