As a member of the GRAAL research group and a visiting
researcher at the Institut de Biologie et Chimie des Protéines,
I am studying modular
scheduling approaches for grid middleware software. My activities
thus far have been centered around a
protein sequence comparison application developed by the
IBCP, running on the DIET grid computing
infrastructure [1].
- San Diego Supercomputer Center, San Diego, CA, USA
- Post-graduate Researcher September - December 2003
As a post-graduate researcher in the GRAIL team directed by
Professor Henri Casanova, I continued my research efforts in the
area of high-performance scientific simulation
applications [2].
- University of California, San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA
- Research and Teaching Assistant September 1997 - August 2003
As a graduate student, my work focused on wide-area
heterogeneous environments. My research activities included
collaborations on network resource performance prediction
techniques [7, 9], a toolkit for
building Computational Grid programs [6,
8], and scheduling for entity-level
applications [3, 5].
As a teaching assistant in a Web
Server Languages course, I performed midterm and assignment grading,
assisted students in programming labs and exam preparations, and
participated in project specification and design.
- International Business Machines Corp., San Jose, CA, USA
- Summer Intern June - September 1997
In the context of a summer internship at the IBM Almaden Research
Center, I studied the performance of commercial large-scale
storage products. In particular, I produced an internal white
paper evaluating the applicability of such products to create
scalable data warehouses.
- Oracle Corp., Redwood City, CA, USA
- Applications Engineer July 1995 - August 1996
As an applications engineer in the Manufacturing Applications
Division, I participated in the design, implementation, and
validation of Oracle Applications products related to cost
tracking and analysis for large-scale enterprises.
