I am currently a Masters student at Georgia Tech's College of Computing, following the MS-Computer Science (Thesis Option) track. I specialize in:
- high-performance computing
- algorithms, programming methodologies, languages and compilers for multicore/manycore
- cache-, cpu-, and topology-adaptive programming methodologies, compilers and libraries
- ...and thus, perhaps, computational solutions to Big Problems:
- cancer sucks
- fusion's hard
- algorithms and implementation of high-performance pattern matching
- for network security (wire-speed, low-latency, rich operators)
- and bioinformatics (high-volume, gappy/fuzzy, multidimensional)
- especially using automata theory (Glushkov, Thompson, XFA, etc...)
- intrusion detection and prevention (theory and implementation)
Upon entering MSCS in Fall 2008, I'd have said intrusion detection first, and programming language design second. Indeed do many things come to pass.
I have some Forthright Advice for GT CSMS Students, and also some preparation for the CS Subject Exam GRE.
