I have been an assistant professor
in the Department of Computer Science
at Coastal Carolina University, in
Myrtle Beach, SC, since
August, 2008. Previously, I was an assistant
professor at
the United States Naval Academy
in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department from
August 1, 2006 to July 15, 2008.
Before that, I was a Visiting Instructor in the
Electrical and Computer Engineering department
at Clemson University in Clemson, SC, ... and about 6 months before that, I was a
graduate student. I originally graduated from
Clemson University with a BS (Aug 1995 - May 1999), and
later with an MS (Dec. 2000), and finally with
a Ph.D. (Dec. 2005), each in Computer Engineering.
My research interests include parallel computing, job scheduling,
performance evaluation and modeling, and discrete event simulation.
I suppose one could say that I am currently a former member of the
Parallel Architecture Research Laboratory (PARL), where I worked with
Dr. Walt Ligon.
My CV and transcripts can be found here.
