[Welcome]

I am a [2nd year] Ph.D. student majoring inComputer Science at theUniversity of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I work with Prof.George Karypis in theKarypis Lab.

Before coming to the University of Minnesota, I earned by Bachelor of Arts inComputer Science at theCollege of Saint Benedict/Saint John's Univeristy nearSt. Cloud, MN.

My interests include high performance computing and its applications; creating algorithms to efficiently solve real-world problems using the technology that is currently available, as well as plan for the technology of the future. I am also interested in data-mining— specifically clustering techniques.
