Current Projects

I'm currently spending most of my time on two projects: Berkeley UPC (a project to write a high performance, portable compiler and runtime system for Unified Parallel C), and Checkpoint/Restart for Linux.

In my spare time I'm also a graduate student in the U.C. Berkeley Computer Science department.

Previously, I used to be a graduate student in sociology at Princeton, where I studied the development of literary studies in the U.S. and France.
