I am currently working on my thesis on latency and packet size in parallel computing, a related project latency tuning a cluster at NASA-Dryden, and a research project investigating the use of cellular automata to represent patchy plant patterns in semi-arid environments. </p> <p>I am involved in mentoring other women in computer science, and computer engineering.</p></td> <td width="23" valign="top" background="../../images/rightSide.gif"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="23" height="1" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> <table width="773" height="5" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="table for layout"> <tr> <td width="20" height="5" background="../../images/leftSide.gif"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="20" height="1" border="0"></td> <td width="730" height="5" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="1" height="5" border="0"></td> <td width="23" height="5" background="../../images/rightSide.gif"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="23" height="1" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> <table width="773" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" summary="table for layout"> <tr> <td width="20" valign="top" background="../../images/leftSide.gif"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="20" height="1" border="0"></td> <td width="156" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><a href="#"><img src="../../images/firstgov.gif" alt="FirstGov" width="156" height="50" border="0"></a></td> <td width="285" align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" class="footer"><br> <a href="http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/oig/hq/hotline.html" target="_blank" class="footerLnk">+ Inspector General Hotline</a><br> <a href="http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/codee/nofear.html" target="_blank" class="footerLnk">+ Equal Employment Opportunity Data posted pursuant to the No Fear Act</a><br> <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/about/budget/index.html" target="_blank" class="footerLnk">+ Budgets, Strategic Plans and Accountability Reports</a><br> <a href="http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/FOIA/agency/" target="_blank" class="footerLnk">+ Freedom of Information Act</a><br> <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/about/highlights/HP_Management.html" target="_blank" class="footerLnk">+ The President's Management Agenda</a><br> <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/about/highlights/HP_Privacy.html" target="_blank" class="footerLnk">+ NASA Privacy Statement, Disclaimer, and Accessibility Certification</a></td> <td width="24" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="24" height="1" border="0"></td> <td width="60" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><img src="../../images/meatball_sm.gif" alt="NASA" width="60" height="50" border="0"></td> <td width="193" align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" class="light"><p><br> Editor: Linda Conrad<br> NASA Official: <a href="mailto:Lizabeth.K.Coe@nasa.gov">Liza Coe</a><br> Last Updated: May 2011<br> <br> </p> </td> <td width="12" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="12" height="1" border="0"></td> <td width="23" valign="top" background="../../images/rightSide.gif"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="23" height="1" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> <table width="773" height="5" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="table for layout"> <tr> <td width="20" height="5" background="../../images/leftSide.gif"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="20" height="1" border="0"></td> <td width="730" height="5" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="1" height="5" border="0"></td> <td width="23" height="5" background="../../images/rightSide.gif"><img src="../../images/shim.gif" alt=" " width="23" height="1" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> <table width="773" height="24" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="table for layout"> <tr> <td width="773" height="24"><img src="../../images/bottom.gif" alt=" " width="773" height="24" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> <p> </p> </div> </body> </html
