I have moved to Oak Ridge National Laboratory and this website is not maintained anymore.

Thank you for visiting my website. I am a Senior Research Associate in the Computer Science Department at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois. I am also a Guest Faculty at the Mathematics and Computer Science Division of the Argonne National Laboratory. My research focuses on parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing, computer architecture and system software support for computational science.
