I'm a graduate student at the University of New Hampshire, where I
also did my undergraduate work. My interests lie in parallel
and distributed systems, particularly their application to large
scale visualization.
My thesis committee consists of
Prof. Bergeron,
Prof. Hatcher, and
Dr. Childs.
I own is-useless.org, but the
webserver is down indefinitely as I don't have as much time for
system administration as I used to. I still run a
SILC server for geeks / nerds
though. Ask me about it in person or over email.
Work
It is looking very likely that I'll be at
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
for the summer, working under the guidance of Sean Ahern (link?).
I spent summer 2007
in Livermore, California, working at
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
on VisIt. Somehow I
convinced them to provide a cluster, some parallel rendering libraries, and
money, whilst all I have to do is play around with the software all
day.
I was extremely fortunate to work with the guidance of
Hank Childs
during my time out there.
As I'm sure they'd love to remind me, I still need to get some of my
parallel rendering code merged into the trunk...
I used to work for
Dr. Raeder out of
the physics department. To simplify greatly, I worked on various methods
for visualizing large datasets. You can find out a lot about the types
of things I worked on (or with) by
Googling my name.
Sorry, I don't keep my resume online anymore. It was perpetually
out of date, and rampaging killbots in the Octilian sector would
scrape my email from it. I'm not available for employment right
now anyway.
Walt: Dad, what's gradual school?
Garp: Gradual school?
Walt: Yeah. Mom says her work's more fun now that she's teaching
gradual school.
Garp: Oh. Well, gradual school is someplace you go and gradually
find out that you don't want to go to school anymore.
