Provide consulting services to campus community. Requires strong working
knowledge of engineering applications, graphics design packages, compilers,
and utilities residing on Sun Sparc, IBM RS/6000, Silicon Graphics, IBM SP2,
Macintosh, and Intel-based computers.
Spearheaded committee to provide Windows95/98 networking support and documentation for users connecting to campus network via Ethernet, modem, or IBX data line. Participated on committee of senior consultants responsible for interviewing prospective new hires, conducting performance evaluations, designing and administering staff training program, and overseeing maintenance and administration of consulting hardware. | |
| Member Scientific Staff Bell Northern Research / NORTEL , RTP, NC | January 1994 to August 1994 |
| Participated in design and implementation of Generic Services Framework (GSF). A large-scale object oriented software engineering project to re-architect the DMS-100 switch. Designed modules essential to North American equal access dialing and global ISDN outpulsing. Learned important concepts of telephony, ISDN, and object oriented design through extensive corporate training programs. |

| Research | Parallel Computation of Twin Primes Distribution | 1997 - present |
| Experience | Designed and implemented a distributed framework for parallel processing of applications using idle processor time on large numbers of heterogeneous computers. Currently, over 300 computers are in use. http://www.cs.rpi.edu/research/twinp |
| Scalable Instrumentation and Database Approach to Performance Analysis of Parallel Scientific Applications | 1997 - present |
| Doctoral research in performance analysis of parallel finite element applications. Collect instrumentation data in a data scalable way uncoupled from underlying system architecture and tightly coupled with program structure. Exploit database technology by mapping program structure and statistical data onto database schema to facilitate query-based analysis, experiment management, and data mining. |
