PhD Applications

  • CS GRE Subject Test: 2009-10-10 at GSU
  • Scores going to: GT, MIT, Harvard, UWaterloo, UWashington

MSCS at the Georgia Institute of Technology

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.
    • Let's give the scientists some bigger boxing gloves.
  • 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, programming language design second, and esoteric automata algorithms third. Indeed do many things come to pass.

I have some Disarmingly Forthright Advice for GT CSMS Students, and also some preparation for the CS Subject Exam GRE.
