1985 to May 1986), Department of Chemistry, Clemson University SC (Jan 1982 to
Dec 1984).

VISA STATUS

U.S. Permanent Resident

CURRENT RESEARCH TOPIC

Design and development of a software package for Quality Function Deployment
(QFD) methodology in a Concurrent Engineering Environment.  The work involves
an extensive use of object oriented analysis and design, use of C++ as object
oriented programming language and use of InterViews as object oriented GUI
development toolkit. 

OTHER JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Conducting workshops and seminars on object oriented methodology and C++. 
Guiding the research of an M.S. student.
Participating in the overall concurrent engineering research.

COMPUTER EXPERIENCE

Hardware: A variety of workstations including DEC, Sun, SGI, IBM PC, MACINTOSH
Operating Systems: UNIX, VAX/VMS, MS DOS, MACINTOSH.
Languages: C++, C, Ada, LISP, PL/I, FORTRAN, ASSEMBLER (VAX11/780).
Other Software:
InterViews (a C++ based system for building and using interactive software)
CenterLine (a C/C++ development environment)
LASER (an object oriented knowledge engineering environment),
ASPEN (Advanced System for Process Engineering),
X Window System, GKS (Graphical Kernel System),

RELEVANT COURSES

Artificial Intelligence, Interactive Graphics, Computer Networking, Database
Management Systems, Systems Programming, Theory of Operating Systems, Numerical
Analysis, Computer Architecture, Data Structures.

ACADEMIC/SOFTWARE PROJECTS

- An intelligent interface for a leading chemical simulator, ASPEN (using C and
  LASER on VAXSTATION running VAX/VMS).
- Developing and managing a VAX/VMS LAN (Local Area Network) VAXcluster
  consisting of one VAXSTATION 3500 and two VAXSTATION II machines. 
- GKS device drivers for Tektronix 4205, Tektronix 4105, Tektronix 4014 devices
  and for X Windows environment (using C, UNIX)
- Porting a variety of applications across different platforms
- Mixed language programming including C, FORTRAN and VAX/VMS RTL for GKS
- A variety of graphical display gauges for monitoring dynamic processes (using
  C, UNIX and VMS).
- A Time Division Multiplexing System (using TURBO C on IBM PC).
- A relational Database Management System (using C, UNIX).
- A multiprogramming operating system (using MACRO-11 on RT-11).
- An expert system with object based knowledge representation, semantic net
  logic of forward and backward chaining and rule production system (using Ada,
  VMS).
- a package which plays games like Checkers and Tic-Tac-Toe (using LISP).
