Experience
Research Associate
Qatar Computing Research Institute
Date: 2015 – 2018
Location: Doha, Qatar
Member of Mani Murali’s Research Group
University of Michigan-Flint
Date: 2013 – 2014
Location: Flint, MI, USA
• Event Stream processing using a single deterministic finite state
machine (FSM) with buffers to make it possible to run queries
to identify what events contributed to satisfying the search pat-
terns. Using the single deterministic FSM instead of many non-
deterministic FSMs and joining the results allows for better per-
formance even with the overhead for the buffers.
Systems Administrator
Red Cedar Solutions Group
Date: Summer 2011
Location: Okemos, MI, USA
• Internship doing system administration for Linux and a few Windows servers along with other IT tasks.
Undergraduate Researcher in Michal Zochowski’s Lab
University of Michigan
Date: 2008 – 2010
Location: Ann Arbor, MI, USA
• Ran simulations of systems of Neurons using Matlab. This in-
volved numerical solving of systems of over a thousand differen-
tial equations via the Runge-Kutta method.
Undergraduate Researcher in Gus Rosania’s Lab
University of Michigan
Date: 2007
Location: Ann Arbor, MI, USA
• Worked calculating and inputting chemistry data for testing a
machine vision program to read molecular structures from image
files.
