Dane Gregory Deemer

Dane provides general support and content for the Anvil and Anvil Composable Clusters. Prior to joining RCAC, Dane spent over 5 years working as a Senior Computational Biologist focused on large-scale metagenomics analyses, as well as various other multi-omics applications. He specializes in full-stack software engineering and toolbuilding for the research science community. More recently, Dane has been researching large-scale federated data systems and complex software environment manage across distributed systems.

Dane engages with bio- and life-scientists to build and scale research solutions using the latest advancements in cyberinfrastructure and supercomputing capabilties. His projects have included a large data capture/database engineering initiative for microbial genomics, developing a workflow platform allowing users to plug-in to various compute sources, amongst others.

Now working primarily in support for the Anvil supercomputer, Dane works with researchers to ensure Anvil users get the most out of our resources. This includes training sessions, live support sessions, and developing training/support content.
