Background
I am a research scientist at the Northeast Parallel Architectures
Center (NPAC) at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York.
I am working on applications of high performance computing and
communications, parallel computing, computational science,
and the World Wide Web.
I like hiking, canoeing, whitewater kayaking, rock climbing,
traveling, photography, fossils, alternative music, mammals,
old buildings, and kitsch.
