Paul Cull is professor of computer science at Oregon State University
where he has worked for over 30 years. He teaches a variety
of undergraduate courses and graduate courses in theory of computation,
analysis of algorithms, and cybernetics. During the summers
he works with students in a research experience for undergraduates
program which focuses on problems at the interface between computer
science and mathematics. In 2001, Prof. Cull was given the Alumni
Professor Award.
Paul Cull's research interests are mathematical biology, theory
of computation, and analysis of algorithms. His early work was
on inferring gene linkage from pedigree data. He earned his
PhD at the University of Chicago where he studied with the committees
on mathematical biology and information science. He wrote his
thesis on the analysis of neural networks.
Over the years, he has worked on a large variety of topics
and published papers in many venues. His most recent papers
are in machine learning, neural nets, interconnection networks,
biological string alignment, discrete iterations, and error-correcting
codes. He is completing a book on difference equations.
When he is not in Oregon, Prof. Cull likes to be in Italy.
He has worked and lectured at the Laboratory for Cybernetics,
the University of Salerno, and the University of Naples.
