Current incarnation

I graduated on August 1997. I now work in the Santa Clara office of Intel.

My resume (not updated)

Previous life

• I was a graduate student in the algorithms and computational complexity group of the CMU School of Computer Science, working with Gary L. Miller.
• My thesis is titled: Well spaced points for numerical methods . The main application of my thesis work is to the problem of mesh coarsening, though applications to mesh generation are discussed as well.
• I have also dabbled in NESL , a nested data parallel language, developed by the SCANDAL group. I worked on the development of a parallel Delaunay triangulation algorithm. See our paper and an animation of the algorithm. Recently, Jonathan Hardwick developed a C with MPI primitives implementation of the algorithm. See his SPAA 97 paper.
• Here is a list of my publications . It reflects my work done in CMU, and is not up to date (yet). Please check my resume above for a more updated list.

My areas of interest include mesh generation, scientific computation, computational geometry and parallel algorithms.

Cool Technical Pointers

• Jeff Erickson's computational geometry .
• Dave Eppstein's geometry in action and geometry junkyard.
• Robert Schneiders' mesh generation page.
• Paul Heckbert's mesh generation links.
• Steve Owen's meshing corner.

Useful Pointers

• Bartlett's Quotations -- a searchable quotation database.
• Lots of Internet Search Engines including Lycos and Webcrawler.
• Index of Internet Web Servers.
• Maps of CMU and other places.
• Lots of miscellaneous useful information from The Practical Pittsburgher.
• Scheduled Events at the CMU School of Computer Science.
• U.S. Postal Service Information.
• Pittsburgh Weather Information.
• Harry Bovik's database of local information.
• Ellen Spertus' Women and Computer Science page.

Fun Pointers

• B&B Directories on the Web
• Jane Austen's info page . Outstandingly html-ed.
• On line Cookbook with lots of healthy recipes.
• More Healthy Recipes.
• Information about the BBC: TV and Radio.
