I work with Lior at Caltech. He's an amazing guy, probably the only person I know who is capable of doing first-rate work in both biology and mathematics.

I saw an ebay link for 4 cameras pulled from a HiSeq 2000. I am interested in using the cameras to build a digital microscope, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to interface the cameras to a PC, or if they need optics to work. Any ideas? Here is the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Illumina-HiSeq-2000-Hamamatsu-S10...

I had Chris as an instructor when I was an undergrad. Great guy, super smart.

Not directly. I briefly thought that a certain computational number theory problem might involve subset sums, but alas, it turned out to be the wrong approach.

I actually read some of this paper! I liked your FFT trick.
