MENTORS
Dr. Nagiza F. Samatova is a Senior Research Scientist in Computional Biology Institute, Computer Science and Mathematics Divison of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She recieved her B.S. degree in applied mathematics from Tashkent State University, Uzbekistan, in 1991 and her Ph.D. degree in mathemastics from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, in 1993. She also obtained an M.S. degree in Computer Science in 1998 from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA. Dr. Samatova specilizes in computional biology and high perfomance data mining, knowledge discovery and statistical data analysis. She is the author of over 50 publications, 1 book, and 2 patents.
Dr. Michael Leuze is a senior technical staff member in the Computational Mathematics and Computational Biology groups of ORNL's Computer Science and Mathematics Division (CSMD). He previously served as Head of CSMD's Mathematical Sciences Section from 1996 to 1999 and as Director of CSMD's Collaborative Technologies Research Center from 1999 to 2000. Dr. Leuze received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Duke University in 1981 and is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the IEEE Computer Society, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). Dr. Leuze was also the founding Director of the ORNL/UT Joint Institute for Computational Science from 1991 to 1997. Prior to coming to ORNL, Dr. Leuze was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University from 1982 to 1988 and a Research Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Duke University from 1981 to 1982.
 Dr. Andrey Gorin has received his Ph.D. degree (Physics and Mathematics) in 1991 from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology for the computational studies of single nucleotide loops in DNA and RNA structures. During postdoctoral studies at the Rutgers University he investigated the structural heterogeneity of nucleic acids and proposed new concepts on the DNA indirect readout mechanism. Since 1996 Andrey held a number of the staff positions at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute and Cancer Center, (since 2001 as a Senior Research Scientist in the Biophysics Program). During his scientific career Dr. Gorin published more than 60 papers in the computational biology and structural biology areas. His interests include algorithms utilizing NMR Residual Dipolar Couplings, analysis of the RNA and DNA structural databases, de novo approaches in mass-spectrometry, and recognition principles in protein complexes.
From 2001 Dr. Andrey Gorin is associated with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he is a Senior Staff Member at Computer Science and Mathematics.
