Welcome to my new home on the web. There's not much here. I'm a Masters student,
working under Michael Stumm in the
computer group within the electrical
and computer engineering department at the
University of Toronto. I'm working on the
K42 operating system. My research
involves using our runtime system to create a performance monitoring
infrastructure and some tools. I'm trying to get as simple a version as I can
going, then look at it and find some very specific interesting question to
explore for my thesis. The commando objects (nee terrorist objects, but we
changed that as we neared the US border on our way to explain them to IBM) are
coming along nicely, if any form of debugging can be said to be nice. I've
written (err, modified) about six lines of code in the past week, but they were,
umm, very insightful modifications. =P
In spring 2002 I was a TA for CSC364, taught by Alan Borodin. My website here
might be useful for current students in that course, so I've left it up.
Computability and
Complexity. You can look at my notes for the second tutorial, in
HTML or the postscript for
printing. Also available is my Turing Machine example. With
a bit more space than was available on the blackboard I managed to make it a
planar graph.
I'm not currently TA for anything. I enjoyed teaching optimizing compilers, but
it's over now. I'm hoping to not TA anything until I'm finished my master's,
but I probably will in the spring even if I'm not done. Not having money sucks.
I also have some pictures up. My photo page is
here.
Boo! That's it. Please don't look at my
old website. Look at my photos
instead; they are much prettier.
