Phil Hatcher has been a faculty
member at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) since 1986.
Hatcher received
a B.S. in mathematics from Purdue University in 1978,
an M.S. in computer science from Purdue University in 1979,
and a Ph.D. in computer science from the Illinois Institute of Technology
in 1985.
He is a member of ACM, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Beta Kappa, and
the IEEE Computer Society.
In 1992 he received the Outstanding Assistant Professor Award from UNH.
In 1996 Hatcher was appointed to a Norman and Marie Waite Professorship at UNH.

Research Program
Prof. Hatcher's research interests include the design and implementation of
programming languages, parallel and distributed computing, and bioinformatics.
Prof. Hatcher is currently focused
on a collaboration with researchers in the
UNH Hubbard Center for Genome Studies
to study the role of gene duplication in the evolution of novelty. My
primary contribution has been to modify existing computational tools
for studying gene duplication to allow them to run efficiently
on clusters of computers. I am also experimenting with alternative
approaches to building gene families, both within and across
genomes.

Other Important Things
Like
David Letterman,
Phil Hatcher is unreasonably proud of his
Hoosier
heritage.
(And being from Indiana, he thinks the
Corn Cam
is the coolest thing ever, even if it is from Iowa.)
Hatcher is also irrational about
William Carlos Williams,
Iggy Pop,
basketball,
Djembe,
the Spartans snare line,
Sorbs in Prague,
and
one particular consultant.
Rest, or rage, in peace
Russ.
Your choice, man.
