CAREER SUMMARY
Dr. O'Donnell has 27 years of experience working with pharmaceutical and other chemical companies. His early work in computer graphics led to one of the first molecular modeling and graphics systems at a major pharmaceutical company. He has applied computational chemistry methods to implement algorithms for chemical modeling and to produce web-based applications for use by research chemists. He is also an expert in the design and use of relational databases in chemistry
KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Authored a book "Design and Use of Relational Databases in Chemistry" published December 2008.
- Designed and implemented a web-based system at a major pharmaceutical company to search a database of compounds and biological assay data and produce reports.
- Particpated in the design and implementation of the Chemical Virtual Classroom (http://www.chemvc.com).
