Protein Structure

As a researcher in scientific computing, Dr. O'Leary's work has centered on computational biology. Image processing is one major theme, using methods for solving integral equations to restore images and give confidence estimates on the restoration.

Collaboration with pathologists has centered on clustering and classification of cytology samples and karyotyping chromosomes, using standard statistical methods as well as hidden Markov models and new algorithms. More recently, Dr. O'Leary's efforts have focused on using numerical optimization algorithms to determine protein configurations.
