Biography
Education
Daniel Rokhsar is the Program Head for Computational Genomics at JGI and Professor of Molecular Cell
Biology and Physics at the University of California at Berkeley. After a Ph.D. at Cornell University in theoretical physics
and postdoctoral research at IBM, Dr. Rokhsar joined the physics faculty at the University of California at Berkeley in 1989.
In the mid 1990's his research interests shifted from materials physics to biophysics, computational biology, and genomics.
In 2000 he joined the JGI to lead its computational biology program. He is a former NSF Presidential Young Investigator,
Sloan Foundation Fellow, Miller Research Professor, and Guggenheim Foundation Fellow. His interests are in computational,
comparative, and functional analysis of eukaryotic genomes.
Research
My interests center on collective phenomena and ordering in condensed
matter and biological systems. In the past, I have worked on high-temperature superconductivity, quantum antiferromagnetism,
the fullerenes, and liquid crystals. My current interests include the theoretical and computational modeling of molecular,
cellular, and collective properties of biological systems, as well as the behavior of quantum fluids like cold atomic gases
and high temperature superconductors.
