January 2005-Present: Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
September 2001-December 2004: Full-time staff at the Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets, of the Computer Science and Engineering department at UIUC, supervised by Dr. Kale. Duties include extensive software development; technical interactions; and technical writing.
September 1999-August 2001: Research assistant in Dr. Kale's research group in the Computer Science department at UIUC. Duties included maintaining, extending, and porting Charm++, a 100,000-line C/C++ parallel runtime system; interacting with external users; and technical writing.
July 1999-August 1999: Intern at IBM TJ Watson Research Laboratory, Hawthorne, New York. Developed a visual language with a Java GUI, C++ interpreter, and database backend.
February 1997-June 1999: Student assistant at the STEP Lab, of the Alaska SAR Facility, of the UAF Geophysical Institute. Duties included maintaining and extending large satellite image processing and interferometry toolset for Unix workstations and the ARSC Cray T3E parallel machine.
