Research
CdSe splash page.JPG

My interests are in physics-based modeling, scientific computing and visualization. I am a recent Ph.D. graduate holding dual-degrees from the Departments of Physics & Astronomy (Ph.D. 2005) and Computer Science (M.S. 2006) at Louisiana State University (LSU).

My doctoral research in physics was conducted at the University of Southern California at the Collaboratory for Advanced Computing and Simulations (CACS). My dissertation was on molecular dynamics simulations of pressure driven phase transformations in CdSe nanorods. For this research I developed code in FORTRAN and C to run on parallel computing platforms. For my MS thesis in computer science, I developed computer-aided diagnostic algorithms to perform tumor-shape analysis in digital mammograms. I also have experience in developing real-time interactive scientific 3D visualization tools in OpenGL.
