My research is on high performance and large scale computations with a focus on enabling previously infeasible analysis of data from biology, social networks, and scientific simulations. I find stating and studying these problems as large scale matrix computations productive. I received an NSF CAREER award to discover how to scale matrix methods to the enormous sizes of modern data with only modest computational resources. Prior to joining Purdue, I was the John von Neumann post-doctoral fellow at Sandia National Labs.

Recent Interests

About a decade ago, I wrote an article for ACM's XRDS magazine on some of the issues that
arise in my research. It's a nice overview of issues I'm looking at
and problems I'm studying.
