<strong>Texas</strong> A&M <strong>University</strong>, Department of Computer Science College Station, TX<br />
Research Assistant<br />
07/1999-present<br />
• Conceived and developed a novel container centric memory allocator for C++ which<br />
allows containers to communicate the context to the memory allocator. The scheme<br />
improves program performance up to 22 percent.<br />
• Conducted research on designing and implementing Standard Template Adaptive Parallel<br />
Library (STAPL). Designed and implemented parallel algorithms, containers and<br />
schedulers in STAPL.<br />
• Participated in the DOE ASCI Project Efficient massively parallel implementation<br />
of modern deterministic transport calculations. Responsible for parallelization of the<br />
problem, various optimizations, design and implementation.<br />
Lecturer 08/2003-12/2003<br />
Compiler Design senior level class. Lectured on lexical analysis, parsing techniques, context<br />
sensitive analysis, intermediate representations, procedure abstraction, heap management,<br />
code generation, instruction selection, code improvement techniques and optimizations.
