Research
I am a researcher on the STAPL project, working with Lawrence Rauchwerger.

My primary focus is ARMI , the parallel communication and runtime infrastructure used by STAPL. I am also working with others to create a framework for adaptive algorithm selection and assisting in the ongoing development of TAXI , a nuclear transport code using STAPL, which is being developed with the Nuclear Engineering Department.
