Research

I am investigating novel features of the experimental language X10, developed by IBM as part of their submission to the DARPA HPCS Program. My supervisor is Alistair Rendell.

A High-Productivity Language for Computational Science, submission for ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science Poster Day 2009.

I am currently working on integrating molecular mechanics models into MeTAStudio, a computational chemistry IDE being developed by Ganesh Venkateshwara.

Previous work

My honours project was on using interval arithmetic to bound numeric errors in scientific computing.
