Research

My research concerns parallel scientific computing and computational science. Focus areas include: (i) algorithms for scalable sparse graph (symbolic) and matrix (numeric) computations including partitioning, mining and fast solvers, (ii) energy-aware performance scaling in chip multicore multiprocessor petascale regimes, and (ii) systems for multiscale modeling, simulation and knowledge extraction.
