My research interests

I am investigating reusable and extensible synchronization for concurrent object-oriented languages. For more detail, click here.

My advisor is Benjamin Goldberg.

Some useful and/or pertinent Computer Science links:

CS Tech report search

TA/RA duties

Summer 1996 I designed and implemented a GUI front end in Java for the Cart3D computational geometry system, working with Marsha Berger and Michael Aftosmis.
Fall 1996 No duties
Spring 1997 I'll be the TA for Computer Systems Organization II (V22.0202), taught by Benjamin Goldberg. I'll be teaching the C language during recitations.

The flesh around the dusty skeleton of professionalism
