Senior Computer Scientist, Artificial Intelligence Center
Suzanne Paley is a Senior Computer Scientist at SRI’s Artificial Intelligence Center. She works in the interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics to develop computer science methods for managing and analyzing biological data and knowledge. Suzanne has been instrumental in developing new techniques for representation and visualization of metabolic networks, regulatory relationships, experimental datasets and the other forms of biological data and knowledge that underlie the EcoCyc, MetaCyc and BioCyc collection of organism databases, and the Pathway Tools software suite.
Suzanne has an M.S. in Chemistry from Stanford University and an M.S. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley.
