Each student will prepare and present a course project. The goal of the project is twofold. The second goal is for the student to educate the remainder of the class on that topic. The following is a list of possible project topics.
Names following the topics indicate students who have selected a topic.
Topics not on the list are welcome. Please consult with Paul before making a final decision. Those topics marked with an asterisk will probably be of the most interest to the class. For example, a student may want to put Myers' claims to the test and develops a tool that simulates the fragment assembly process. This tool is then used to determine how much an overlap graph can be reducedby Myers' three reductions.
