Brief Bio

Michael L. Raymer graduated in 1991 from Colorado State University with a B.S. degree in Computer Science. He earned an M.S. degree in Computer Science from Michigan State University in 1995 and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Michigan State University in 2000. While at Michigan State, his research crossed the boundaries between computer science and biochemistry. He worked in the Protein Structural Analysis and Design Laboratory, directed by Dr. Leslie Kuhn, and also in the Genetic Algorithms Research and Applications laboratory, directed by Dr. Bill Punch and Dr. Erik Goodman. His work in both labs was directed at developing machine learning algorithms to analyze and predict interactions between proteins and water molecules. He currently holds the rank of Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Wright State University and is a member of the faculty of the Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. program and the Environmental Sciences Ph.D. program. In his career at Wright State, Dr. Raymer has served the university in the positions of Graduate Program Director, Associate Chair, Interim Chair, Department Chair, Associate Dean, and Interim Dean. Dr. Raymer co-developed the undergraduate program in bioinformatics at Wright State University, the first such program in the nation to be funded by the National Science Foundation. He is co-author of the textbook Fundamental Concepts of Bioinformatics, the first undergraduate textbook in bioinformatics, available from Benjamin Cummings publishers. Dr. Raymer's research interests include machine learning, deep learning, topological data analysis, dimensionality reduction, feature engineering, and pattern recognition. Michael and his students have published more than 80 peer-reviewed papers, and have been cited more than 3800 times, including a citation by Justice Samuel Alito in a ruling of the United States Supreme Court related to the use of DNA evidence in the courtroom. His H-index is currently 28. Additionally, Dr. Raymer provides consulting services in the areas of machine learning and data science, and is co-founder and Senior Systems Engineer for Forensic Bioinformatic Services, Inc. (FBS).
