Welcome.
I am an adjunct assistant professor and research associate at the University of Oregon, Department of Computer and Information Science. Before Sept. 2007, I was a technical staff member at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the Computational Physics (CCS-2) and Advanced Computing Laboratory (CCS-1) groups.
My research tends to focus on topics that fall at the intersection (or nearby) of the areas of scientific computing, image and data analysis, parallel algorithms, and programming languages. My background is computer engineering (PhD 2006), mathematics and computer science (MS 2001, BS 1999). My CV can be obtained here.
I am currently teaching a course on data science in Spring 2008, and will be teaching CIS314 Computer Organization in Fall 2008. I am working on a textbook for Chapman-Hall entitled "Introduction to Concurrency in Programming Languages" with my co-author Craig Rasmussen (LANL).
