About

I am currently a lecturer in the Department of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. During my graduate studies, my research spanned the areas of high-performance computing, parallel algorithms, cache-efficient algorithms, and general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU). For more information, please see my academic C.V.
