Introduction

PhD student at CU since Spring 2007. Prof. Manish Vachharajani is my advisor. I am currently employed as a software engineer at National Center for Atmospheric Research since 1998, working on weather and climate simulation codes on high-performance computers. Click here for a recent sample of our weather model output. Prior to NCAR, beginning in 1989, I worked as a computer scientist and software engineer in the Mathematics and Computer Science division of Argonne National Laboratory. I have a MS in Computer Science from Kent State University in 1988. Here is my current CV.

Prior to my current career I worked as a radio news reporter and news director for an NPR affiliate in Ohio.
