I received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Engineering from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. I have been a graduate research assistant at the Center for Advanced Information Processing at Rutgers and a visiting researcher at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California. I received a B.E. degree in Electronics Engineering from University of Mumbai, India.

My research interests include computational science, modeling and simulation, parallel/distributed and autonomic computing, software engineering, and performance optimization. My dissertation, conducted under the direction of Professor Manish Parashar, focuses on developing innovative solutions to address heterogeneity and scalability challenges in parallel scientific simulations by applying algorithmic adaptations at runtime. I have co-authored 14 technical papers in international journals and conferences, 1 book, and 5 book chapters. As part of my professional responsibilities, I am actively involved in conference and workshop organization (publicity co-chair for HiPC 2007, cyber co-chair for HiPC 2006, and program committee member for UASS 2007, UbiSafe 2007, TACS 2006) and serve as a reviewer for several journals and conferences. I am a member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and the Society for Modeling and Simulation International.

I have taught several undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science and electrical engineering in various capacities at Rutgers. I have also acquired two years of industry experience in systems and information technology, specifically in engineering and financial services sectors. I have received a partial fellowship as an outstanding graduate student from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers University (Fall 2006), pre-dissertation award for conducting off-campus research from the Graduate School - New Brunswick at Rutgers University (March-April 2006), best research poster award at Supercomputing Conference (2001), and Sir Ratan Tata Trust Scholarship for meritorious performance during undergraduate studies (1995-1997).
