\begin{letter}{\bf Recommendation for Han-ku Lee}

\opening{Dear Colleague,}

As a research scientist and project leader at Northeast Parallel
Architecture Center, I have directly supervised Han-ku Lee in activities
related to our research group since June 1998.  He has worked as
Graduate Resarch Assistant in the group since he became a Ph.D. student
in January 1999.  He has been very closely involved with the development
of the {\em HPJava} translator.  This translator is a principle component
of the work on our {\em HPspmd} programming model---work funded by
a 3-year NSF grant that will transfer to Florida State University in the
near future.

When he first joined our group Han-ku worked closely with Dr Guansong
Zhang on the front-end for the HPJava translator.  This is based on
the JavaCC parser-generator tool from JavaSoft.  After Dr Zhang left
the project, Han-ku worked with me and one other graduate student to
further develop the front-end and translation modules.  Han-ku has
worked on semantic checking, Java interfacing to the run-time library,
and currently he is working on initial testing of the system.
He has also actively participated in a study group I have been running
with several students, in which we have been studying general material
related to compilers for parallel computers.

Han-ku is very enthusastic, talented and a valuable researcher.

\closing{Yours sincerely,\\\vspace{0.8in}Bryan Carpenter}
