Research Interests
My primary research interest is enabling innovative data management
for
high performance, especially scientific, applications. As the data
sizes for modern HEC platforms approach and exceed PetaScale, the
difficulty of managing, transmitting, storing and processing the
generated data becomes untenable. In order to reduce the complexity
of
dealing with PetaScale I/O, we have developed, jointly with ORNL,
new
infrastructures for dealing with this vast deluge of data. In
particular we are looking at extending in-transit data processing to
supercomputing applications utilizing additional resources in the
system. This method of processing is called "data staging", allowing
us
to create custom data processing pipelines to process in flight data
without generating substantial overheads on either the application
or
the storage subsystem.
Expected graduation date: Dec 2010.

A few personal projects
After school volunteer at International
Community School. A truly excellent opportunity for people
looking to help out and experience a different world. Please check
out the page and see if some of the opportunities suit you.
RFS after school
instructor. RFS is an organization dedicated to helping resettle
refugees coming to the US from war torn areas across the world. Like
ICS this is a wonderful chance for people to experience the
international scene without leaving Atlanta!
The (oddly named) Vaccine
Dinner Club. If you want to learn something interesting about
new advances in vaccines as well as preventative efforts and also
eat free food, do sign up!
Learning a new language is fun; meeting people from around the world
is fun; teaching your language is fun (and profitable!). Atlanta International
Language Institute!
TRC of Liberia: Using
technology to solve internicine conflicts and reconciling hostile
groups.
