Research

Inactive Research Program

As can be seen from my publication record, I no longer have an active research program. Undergraduate students interested in building and publishing open source software may reach out to me for possible mentorship, but be warned that they must be highly self-motivated and independent as I do not have much time or energy to dedicate to research.

My primary research interests are in the areas of distributed and parallel computing, systems programming, and web services with applications in scientific and cloud computing. To pursue these interests, I collaborate with undergraduate students on various research projects and publish open source software.
