Greg Grant's background

Background

I obtained my undergraduate degree in math (1988) and my Ph.D. in math (1995) from the University of Maryland, College Park. My field was Algebraic Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry. My advisor was Professor David Rohrlich, now at Boston University. I spent my last two years as a graduate student visiting the University of Pennsylvania. I worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the math department of Johns Hopkins for the academic year 96-97. I have taken a masters in computer science at the University of Pennsylvania (1999), and as of January 1st, 1998 have a 2 and 2/3 year post-doc in the computational biology group at the University of Pennsylvania under Professor Warren Ewens. From January 2001 to January 2006 I was funded stay at the University of Pennsylvania Computational Biology and Informatics Laboratory under an NIH career transition grant funded by The National Human Genome Research Institute. In 2007 I became Research Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Genetics at Upenn. In 2016 I became Research Associate Professor in the Dept. of Genetics at Upenn. As of August 1st, 2013 I have been director of Bioinformatics for ITMAT.
