Biography
David Konerding
Computer Scientist, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab/Nersc.

David Konerding is a Computer Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's (LBNL) Distributed Systems Department, Computational Research Division. Beginning in 2003, Konerding joined LBNL as a computer scientist in the Distributed Systems Department. His role now is to develop middleware which enables scientists to use computational grids and to work with scientists to ensure their applications operate efficiently.

Konerding earned a BA in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1995. From 1995-2001 Konerding was a graduate student at the University of California, San Francisco, where he used molecular dynamics simulations to understand flexibility in DNA, RNA, and protein structures and how that influences nucleic acid sequence recognition by protein structures. Starting in 2002, working as a postdoctoral scholar at University of California, Berkeley Structural Genomics Consortium, he aided molecular biologists and crystallographers in scaling up their experiments with his knowledge of bioinformatics.
