My research interests are in the areas of programming languages and compilers, Cloud computing and XML Web services, problem-solving environments, and Bayesian networks. My specializations in the area of compilers include symbolic analysis for restructuring and parallelizing compilers, generalized induction variable recognition, data dependence analysis, and parametric estimation. My specializations in distributed computing include XML Web services, Cloud computing, and high-performance computing. My research in distributed computing, program analysis, and compiler-based auto-generation resulted in the gSOAP toolkit, which has become the de-facto Web services development toolkit for C/C++ in industry and academia. As part of my former PhD education at Leiden University I developed the CTADEL problem-solving environment for meteorological and atmospheric prediction models. I was awarded with the Department of Energy Early Career award in high-performance computing and networking in 2002. I am grateful to the National Science Foundation and US Department of Energy for supporting my research and graduate students. I cordially invite you to visit our ACIS laboratory where you will find an overview of our laboratory research.
