I'm a fifth-year PhD student at University of California, Davis. I am very fortunate to work with Prof. John Owens.

Before moving to Davis, I did my masters and undergraduate studies at Columbia University. I received my B.S. in Computer Science in May 2005 and my M.S. in 2007.

As a graduate student, I have also interned at Microsoft Research Asia, Microsoft Research Redmond, Intel, and Pixar Animation Studios. I have had the rare opportunity to have very talented and caring mentors who taught me how to do research. At these internships I have worked with Li-Yi Wei, Brandon Lloyd, and Aaron Lefon (and the ART Team).

Thanks to Anjul Patney for the html design! He is far more into aesthetics of HTML than I am.

Here's my CV (PDF). It was last updated in Feburary 2013.

Research Interests

The focus of my work has been GPU Computing. Specifically, I am interested in task-parallel programming approaches on the GPU and seeing how they map onto data-parallel hardware. I am also interested in graphics and seeing how graphics and task-parallelism work on the GPU.

To program the GPU, I have used GLSL, CUDA and OpenCL in that order chronologically.
