I am a Ph.D student in Prof. Scott B. Baden's research group at University of California-San Diego. I am grateful to Simula Research Laboratory for funding my research and awarding me with Simula Ph.D Fellowship for four years.

My research interests lie primarily in the area of numerical methods, optimization of scientific simulations and parallel programming models, with strong connections to heterogeneous architectures, particularly GPUs. I am also very interested in large-scale data analysis and statistical modelling.

Currently I am working on Mint Programming Model.
