Work Experience

IBM Research Yorktown, NY
Internship in Biomolecular Dynamics and Scalable Modeling Group
May 2006 - August 2006

Worked on parallel Molecular Dynamics simulator "BlueMatter" on a 20k node BlueGene/L supercomputer.
Researched ways of efficiently applying relational sets concepts to the data structures and data movements of scientific applications such as MD. Based on this, redesigned and reimplemented the BlueMatter data translation layer that allows physical scientist's representations to be run efficiently on parallel machines.
Helped to debug and fix transient particle decomposition errors across thousands of processor nodes.
Created a tool that rewrites annotated C code to allow fast parallel relational data primitives to be compiled into scientific software. Solely using these primitives, implemented a rudimentary molecular dynamics simulator from scratch.
