Research Interests and Projects

My research focuses on software engineering for high performance scientific applications; areas of interest include automatic differentiation, component based software, and performance engineering.

Computational Differentiation: Tools for the production of accurate and efficient derivative codes
- ADIC: Automatic Differentiation of ANSI C.
- ADIFOR: Automatic Differentiation of Fortran 77.
- Automatic differentiation of parallel programs
Component based software engineering for high performance scientific computing
Source code analysis for performance bounds

Education

I hold a BS in Computer Engineering and an MS in Computer Science from Michigan State University, in East Lansing, MI. Here are some pictures of the beautiful MSU campus.

I received my PhD in Computer Science with a Computational Science & Engineering option at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in October 1997. My advisors were Christian Bischof (formerly of ANL, now at Aachen University) and Michael Heath (UIUC).
