Daniel Lopresti
received his bachelor's
degree from Dartmouth in 1982 and his Ph.D. in computer science from
Princeton in 1987. After completing his doctorate, he joined the
Computer Science Department at Brown and taught courses ranging from
VLSI design to computational aspects of molecular biology. He
went
on to help found the Matsushita Information Technology Laboratory,
and later also served on the research staff at Bell Labs.
In 2003, Dr.
Lopresti joined the
Computer Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh where he is
working to build a research group examining fundamental algorithmic
and systems-related questions in pattern recognition, bioinformatics,
and security. Dr. Lopresti is co-director of the Lehigh Pattern Recognition
Research (PatRec) Lab.

Electronic Voting
On May 12, 2008, I will
appear in a panel
discussion on WFMZ 69's "Business Matters" hosted by Tony Iannelli with
Stacy Sterner, Ken Kraft, Santa Bannon-Shillea, and Alan Brau. To view
details about the show,

The PERFECT Project
Also of note, we have been awarded an NSF CyberTrust grant to study
issues surrounding the reliable processing of voting records, including
paper ballots. Investigators on the project include George Nagy
from RPI, Elisa Barney Smith from Boise State, Chris Borick from
Muhlenberg, and Ziad Munson and myself from Lehigh. PERFECT is an
acronym that stands for "Paper and Electronic Records For Elections:
Cultivating Trust." Click here
for the PERFECT project website.
We have acquired examples of two full-face electronic voting systems
manufactured by
Danaher and Sequoia. These systems match those used in several PA
counties, and were purchased from government surplus auctions on the
web. For more information and media coverage, click below:

Bioinformatics
Along with colleagues from Biological Sciences and Chemical
Engineering, I lead a student research team developing
techniques for searching large genetic databases for evidence of RNA
editing events. This activity was part of Lehigh's Biosystems Dynamics
Summer Institute which was recently funded by the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute (HHMI). Click here
for more details on the project.
