Intel Corporation Santa Clara, CA Graduate Intern Technical July 2010 - Current Designed and developed debug tools for GPU development. Multiple engineering enhancements to graphics driver. Several graphics driver bug fixes. Iowa State University Ames, IA Research Assistant May 2007 - Current Investigated improving utilization of multi and many-core processors using static and dynamic analysis and optimization techniques. Implemented a static binary analysis, translation, and instrumentation framework (in C++, approximately 23,000 lines of code). Developed a thorough understanding of several aspects of multi and many-core architectures (cache hierarchy, pipelining, etc.). Implemented an abstract interpretation framework for program binaries including novel analysis techniques. Developed novel program visualization techniques.
