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.

I am interested in programming distributed data structures to support scalable scientific applications.
To motivate and evaluate this work I am developing ANUChem, a suite of computational science applications in X10.
