I am an assistant professor with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.

My research area is Programming Languages and Compilers, and my interests lie specifically in developing languages, compilers and runtimes that support efficient programming and high performance on emerging complex architectures. For more details of this work, see my research interests.

I graduated in 2002 with a B.S. in both Computer Science and Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University. My advisor was Keshav Pingali. While pursuing my Ph.D., I was supported by a Department of Energy High Performance Computer Science (HPCS) Fellowship. After receiving my Ph.D., I joined the Institute for Computational Sciences and Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin as a postdoc, where I worked with the Intelligent Software Systems (ISS) group. Since the fall of 2009, I have been an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.
