About Me

1. I received my B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. As an undergraduate, I leveraged iOS powered devices to calculate life-cycle assessment (LCA) scenarios using grid computing principles. Specifically, I wrote an application to receive data from a server (by allowing the server to ping the iOS device when data was available), compute a section of an LCA calculation, and send the results back to the server. I am currently conducting research with Professor Debra Richardson at the University of California, Irvine in pursuit of a Ph.D. in Informatics. My research involves introducing sustainability into the software engineering process as well as the web application described below.

2. My research goal is to contribute in making developing societies more environmentally sustainable through IT interventions – “greening through IT”. I hope to help civilizations realize their potential to be free from the looming threats of global climatic disruption and other environmental concerns. I am particularly interested in designing computing technologies that will help developers build systems that meet the stakeholders’ needs while reducing the environmental impacts brought about by those systems.
