About Me
I am currently a software engineer at Google. Before this,
a software engineer at C3.ai, which is a software company that provides an artificial
intelligence and machine learning platform for enterprises. Before this role, I was
a software engineer at Intel working for the technology and manufacturing
group at Hillsboro, OR.
I was a postdoctoral
researcher in the Scientific
Computing and Imaging (SCI) institute in the
University of Utah under the supervision
of Prof. Ross T. Whitaker
and Prof. Robert M. Kirby. I
graduated with a Ph.D. at The Pennsylvania
State University in the Department
of Computer Science and Engineering in August, 2012 under the guidance
of Prof. Suzanne M. Shontz
as my advisor. I completed my undergraduation in
mechanical engineering at the
Indian Institute of Technology Madras
in Chennai, India in July 2007. I graduated from high school at the
Sri Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain College
in Bangalore, India in 2003.
I studied in Kendriya Vidyalaya
(Central School) at Kudremukh, Karnataka, India for the first ten years
of my schooling.
My doctoral research focused on dynamic meshing techniques with application to simulation of blood flow after a vein is occluded by a mechanical filter used to capture blood clots. I collaborated with the Pennsylvania State Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, PA and other departments in the university for this project. I also worked on numerical optimization techniques for mesh quality improvement during my graduate studies. For my postdoctoral research, I worked on mesh generation and interpolation error analysis in high-order finite elements. I collaborated with the Upstream Research Company at the ExxonMobil corporation for a project on geometric modeling of geological structures. At Intel, I worked on generating hexahedral meshes for thermomechanical simulations.
