Personal trivia...

I am married to Vasanthi, and we have two children Hemant (9 years of age on 9/18/95) and Shalini (7 years of age on 1/23/96). I am an avid squash player, and can be arm-twisted to hold a tennis racket every once in a while!

Professionally Speaking...

I received my Ph. D. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1986 under the direction of Marvin Solomon. Since then I have been with Georgia Tech (home of the yellow jackets), where I am currently an Associate Professor in the College of Computing. My research interests are in the area of architectural design, programming, and analysis of parallel and distributed systems. I was a Co-Principal investigator for the Clouds distributed operating system project at Georgia Tech. Currently I am investigating software and hardware mechanisms for building scalable shared memory systems, and studying the scalability of parallel systems from an applications perspective. I received a Presidential Young Investigator (PYI) Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1990, and the Georgia Tech doctoral thesis advisor award in 1993.
