About
My little corner of the web where I get to shower compliments over myself…
Me
I’m a fourth year Engineering Physics undergraduate student at Simon Fraser University. School is a great place to hang out with a lot of smart and motivated people. I really like school, but I don’t like exams and midterms.
I usually don’t have time to attend classes because I’m busy learning stuff. See my projects page to see what I’ve been upto.

Work
Winter 2007: I’m juggling between three highly demanding and challenging projects. If any of the following is of interest to you, drop me a line.
I’m currently employed as a research assistant at the Medical Image Analysis Lab. It’s a sweet job: we have mathematicians, engineers, statisticians and computer scientists in-house trying to build “instruments” to measure anatomical changes in the body. In this game, my peers often pull in techniques from obscure fields. Every single day in the lab is a mind blowing experience. You can broadly categorize my work under Computer Vision. The most satisfying aspect of my job is that we have real data that can be used to quantify results. We’re not just playing with toy models.
I have previously worked at an in-silico enzyme engineering and design company focusing on simulations. I’m highly interested in the statistical mechanics of proteins and the associated algorithms (Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo.) If you read my blog you’d realize that I’m passionate about high performance, scalable numerical codes.
Oh yeah, since you’ve read this far, allow me to give you a small insider trick - Never write your own Linear Algebra library. Never.
