About Myself

I'm a Ph.D. student studying computer science at Texas A&M University. My advisor is Dr. Lawrence Rauchwerger. I decided to attend graduate school after working for Dr. Rauchwerger as an undergraduate. I am currently researching adaptive run-time optimizations as a member of the Parallel Architectures, Algorithms, and Optimizations Lab, PARASOL. I also assist on grid computing with HiPCAT as a a member of the CIS Supercomputing Facility.
