My areas of interest are, but not limited to,
Parallel and Distributed Computing, Discrete Event Simulation, Cryptography, Compilers and Image Processing.
I'm currently enhancing WARPED 2, the MPI-based Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES) kernel
of High Performance Computing Laboratory,
under supervision of Dr. Philip A. Wilsey.
My focus is design and performance enhancement of scalable multi-threaded event scheduler in WARPED 2.
This means I get to ( sometimes forced to :-) ) experiment with 'exotic' priority queues, relaxed event
causality and lock-free algorithms. This work was partially supported by NSF grant CNS-0915337 and
AFOSR award No. FA9550-15-1-0384.
WARPED 2.0 is located here:
[GitHub link for WARPED 2]
[GitHub link for WARPED 2 models]
Previous version of WARPED is located here:

[GitHub link for WARPED models]
I also worked for over a year at the Bioinformatics division of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
under the supervision of
Dr. Bruce J. Aronow. During this time, I developed a C++-based scalable toolkit using OpenCV2 image processing
libraries for automated multi image/multi-channel morphological feature extraction from neural confocal images
for a study on Schizophrenia. Toolkits I developed are available on
My GitHub profile.

Miscellaneous
I lead a pathetic life and have nothing worth sharing. You might find something of interest in my
GitHub account. I plan to transfer more chunks
of my 'prized possessions' there soon.
I occasionally sketch or carve chalksticks in my "free-time" (read as procrastination :-) ).

Curriculum Vitae
I never quite figured out the difference between curriculum vitae and resume. Let me know if you
think mine should be renamed as resume. For those who are curious or otherwise,
here lies my professional history in a
nutshell.
