OBJECTIVES
To obtain a full time position where I may apply my skills and develop intellectually at the same time.

EDUCATION
1. PhD. Student, Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, 
   The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA.
   Dissertation Topic: Software Based Techniques for Robust Computing on Chip Multiprocessors
   Expected Graduation : August 2008
   GPA : 3.72

RESEARCH SUMMARY
Computers today are all pervasive and touch every facet of our lives. A primary requirement that
any user places on such systems is that they work without failure or interruption. A secondary
need is that these systems should work as fast as possible. One of the fundamental problems is that
performance and robustness are divergent goals. My doctoral research has focussed on reducing
this divergence as far as possible using compiler directed software techniques.
