Mordecai-Mark Mac Low is an Associate
Curator in the
Division of Physical Sciences. He studies the dynamics of
circumstellar and intersteller gas in order to understand
the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies. Much of
his work involves the modelling of astrophysical blast waves
using analytic and numerical gas dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics
(MHD). He is a curator of Astrophysics.

Denton Ebel is the Assistant
Curator of Meteorites in the
Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. Denton is a geologist
who specializes in the study of meteorites. His research focuses
on two computationally intensive problems:
1) the thermodynamic modeling of high temperature (300-2000°C)
equilibria involving gas, solid, and melt phases at low pressures
(< 1 bar)
2) developing ways to see meteorites and their components as
three dimensional objects using computed x-ray microtomography
Denton recently served as lead curator on a complete renewal
of the Museum's
Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites.

Ilya Tëmkin received his PhD in Biology from New York University in 2007 and currently holds a postdoctoral fellowship in bioinformatics at the AMNH. His research focuses on the evolutionary history of pterioidean bivalves and is inherently interdisciplinary, combining approaches from phylogenetic systematics to functional morphology to paleoecology. Ilya’s interests include evolutionary theory (particularly the role of developmental constraints in generating large-scale evolutionary trends) and theoretical aspects of material cultural evolution. |
| Andrés Varón |
avaron@amnh.org |
 |
Biologist of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá), currently in the PhD Program in Computer Science at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His main interests areas include biodiversity information systems design and implementation, database optimization techniques, distributed analysis and parallel processing of biological data (long live Beowulfs!), biodiversity research methods and algorithms using computer aided systems, string algorithms in bioinformatics applications and, finally, grasshopper systematics. |

 |
Le Sy Vinh completed his PhD in 2005 at the John von Neumann Institute for Computing, Research Center Juelich and Bioinformatics Institute at the Heinrich-Heine-University of Duesseldorf, Germany (supervisor: Prof. Arndt von Haeseler). His main interests are data structures and algorithms, especially phylogenetic analysis of large datasets or whole genomes. Vinh holds a postdoctoral fellowship as Algorithm Scientist at the AMNH.
