Mark Gates
I’m a Ph.D. student in computer science, studying scientific computing amidst the corn and soy at the University of Illinois. My research is in digital volume correlation, with my advisor Michael Heath and co-advisor John Lambros. See my research page for more information.
Cindy and I married in 2006. You can see some pictures from our honeymoon at Olympic National Park, Mt Rainier, and Mt St Helens.
In past lives, I’ve worked at InterVarsity Press, NCSA in the NLANR/DAST group, and Lawrence Livermore National Lab.
