Bill Press' Home Page
Bill Press (also indexed on the web as William Press and William H. Press) is a Senior Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the Statistical Sciences group (Group D-1). His research is on bioinformatics, especially whole genome studies, and statistical methods. Prior to June, 2004, he served for five years as LANL's Deputy Laboratory Director for Science and Technology. Before coming to LANL in 1998, he was for twenty years Professor of Astronomy and Physics at Harvard University, and a member of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
Bill is a person of at least three personae, and perhaps others as well: You might know him recently as a computational biologist, or earlier as a theoretical astrophysicist, or else you might know him as the co-author and (in his off hours) co-maintainer of the Numerical Recipes series of books on scientific computer programming.
No relation to that other Bill Press whom you might see puffing political hot air on CNN.
