Erik is an experienced software engineer specializing in developing tools for bioinformatics research. He joined TACC in May of 2016 as a Senior Bioinformatics Software Engineer in the Life Sciences Computing Group where he works on portal / science gateway development, building tools for cloud computing, and helping researchers design genomics workflows in a high performance computing environment. Prior to joining TACC, Erik earned a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland and a M.S. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University. He also spent many years working at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) / J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) where he worked on developing laboratory information systems, building pipelines for analyzing next-generation sequencing data, high-throughput tools used in functional genomics research of pathogens, and developing an information portal for Arabidopsis thaliana genomics data.
