I am group leader of the Scientific Computing Applications group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The computational scientists, in the group, have expertise and experience in High Performance Computing (HPC) and have degrees in various domain sciences such as mechanical engineering, hydrology, biochemistry, nuclear engineering, and physics. The group's main activities are HPC research and development work in collaboration with domain science users of TeraGrid resources. This collaborative R&D effort allows SDSC's experienced computational scientists to work with domain scientists regarding algorithm development, code optimization, code profiling/tuning, mathematical library implementation, new programming model implementation etc.

Starting August, 2008 I am the Area Director for Advanced User Support for TeraGrid which is an open scientific discovery infrastructure combining leadership class resources at eleven partner sites to create an integrated, persistent computational resource.

I received B.S. degree in Electronics and Telecommunication from the Jadavpur University , Calcutta, India, and Ph.D degree in the interdisciplinary program of Nuclear Engineering and Scientific Computing from the University of Michigan . My dissertation was done under the supervison of Prof. William R. Martin. Before joining the SDSC I worked for a year at the Engineering and Computer Center at the Ford Research Laboratory in Dearborn, Michigan.

Recent Projects:

  1. Co-PI on a UCLab funded project (2009-2012) on developing optimized on-line adaptive therapy for radiation treatment of cancer using high performance computing. This is in collaboration with Steve Jiang (Director of Research, Dept of Radiation Oncology, UCSD) ; A.J. Mundt, MD, (Chairman, Dept of Radiation Oncology, UCSD); Todd Pawlicki (Director of Medical Physics and Clinical Operations, Dept of Radiation Oncology, UCSD), Dong Ju Choi (SDSC), and Mike Holst (Mathematics Dept, UCSD). Other collaborator H. Edwin Romeijn (Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering, University of Michigan).
  2. PI on an NSF funded collaborative HECURA project (2008 - 2010) on improving one-sided MPI communication for ultra scale HPC machines. Other PIs are D.K. Panda (Ohio State University) and Karl Schulz (Texas Advanced Computing Center, U. Texas).
  3. PI on an NSF funded collaborative PetaApps project (2007 - 2012) on High Reynolds Number Turbulence Simulation. Other PI and Co-PIs are P.K. Yeung (Georgia Tech), Dmitry Pekurovsky (SDSC), David Bader (Georgia Tech), Robert D. Moser (U. Texas), James J. Riley (U. Washington), Stephen B. Pope (Cornell).
  4. PI on a Microsoft grant (2008-2009) to benchmark scientific applications on a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster.
  5. NSF funded educational project through which we are providing Cyberinfrastructure experiences ( Cyberinfrastructure Experiences for Graduate Students (CIEG-2007) , CIEG-2008 ) for graduate students.
  6. Co-PI, on an NSF ITR funded project (2004-2007) on image guided neurosurgery (PI Kim Baldridge, SDSC/U.Zurich; Co-PI: Simon K. Warfield, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School; Collaborators: Dong Ju Choi, SDSC, and Petr Krysl, Structural Engineering, UCSD.). This project is in collaborations with the Computational Radiology Laboratory at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
  7. PI on an NSF funded collaborative SGER project (2006 - 2007) on analyzing performance and scaling of SCEC AWM code (PI: Tom Jordan, USC, Senior Personnel: Yifeng Cui, SDSC)
  8. Project (started in 2006) developing finite element modeling capability to study muscle stretch effect during child birth. This is in collaboration with Lennox Hoyte, M.D., OB/Gyn, (Director, Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, Univ of Southern Florida, College of Medicine), Simon K. Warfield (Director, Computational Radiology Laboratory, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School), Petr Krysl (Structural Engineering, UCSD), Dong Ju Choi (SDSC).
