Welcome! I am a computer
scientist and recently completed my dissertation on improving the performance of the PageRank algorithm
by applying techniques used to decide graph isomorphism.
The PageRank algorithm is used to order query
responses in some search engines. I also proposed other PageRank algorithm
applications, such as identifying members in a social network that are likely
to be infected with a disease or identifying nodes in an unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) swarm that are likely to contain information spread by
a rumor-routing protocol.
My early work on
data management in UAV swarms involved implementing a communications protocol
library and integrating UAVs in undergraduate classes. Those efforts motivated
my early doctoral results, such as defining a swarm design paradigm, creating a
swarm simulation environment, and improving a distributed data
structure’s performance in mobile applications. Other work yielded an XML
compression study and two visual cache simulators. Many of these efforts
involved my favorite aspects of research: creativity and collaboration.
While on active
duty, I served in the communications and intelligence fields at many locations,
including
All the best,
