Welcome!
I graduated with a PhD in Computer Science in December 2010. I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at HP Labs, Palo Alto. My research is funded as part of the 2010 NSF/CRA Computing Innovation Fellows Project. My research advisors: Dr. Joel Saltz and Dr. P. Sadayappan. I am interested in the performance aspects of data-intensive applications. My research focuses on enabling intelligent performance optimizations for such applications and on facilitating performance-quality trade-offs in large-scale data analysis. My work spans the areas of large-scale data management, parallel and distributed computing systems and middleware, scientific workflows and knowledge representation. In the past, I was a Graduate Research Associate at the Department of Biomedical Informatics at OSU and a Research Intern at ISCR, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. |
