Sandy Shaw has been a computer scientist and software engineer for over 20 years, working at companies and institutions such as Bell Labs, Lockheed Electronics, University of Hawaii and University of California, San Francisco, where he was a postgraduate researcher in the field of bioinformatics. He began studying dynamical systems theory (chaos theory) as part of his graduate research in physics at SUNY, Stony Brook in the late seventies. This later led to development of a fractal data compression algorithm for commercial use in 1988. Further studies involving iterated function systems led Sandy to research data modeling and analysis using fractal surfaces. He founded Fractal Genomics in 2001 in order to extend and commercialize this research. In 2003 Fractal Genomics was acquired by Health Discovery Corporation, where Sandy is currently Vice President of Fractal Technology.
