Office hours: TBA
I'm currently pursuing my MS degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of California, Davis. I work in John Owens' research group, which is involved in a range of funded projects related to parallel and GPU computing.
My research focuses on the parallelization of Rosetta, which is one of the world's leading protein structure prediction software packages, developed by the Baker Lab at the University of Washington. Our implementation of Rosetta will leverage GPU hardware, which has the potential to greatly increase the speed at which proteins are folded. You can help fold proteins today with your idle CPU cycles using Rosetta@home, which runs on the BOINC distributed computing platform. I'm also interested in GPU hardware, architectures, and computer graphics.
Winter 09: TA for Testing and Verification of Digital Systems
