"Last time we tried the Viking funeral we couldn't find torches, so we hadda use the hibachi," says me. "The Viking went to barbecue heaven, where he was eaten over the weekend and thrown out with a sack a grilled corn cobs," says Giblets. "But he died the death a warrior corn, fightin all the way," says me. "And his soul was processed into the highest-fructose corn syrup the gods of Valhalla allow," says Giblets. "And then sold to a number of major soft drink distrubutors." "He still haunts the remains a Coke cans everywhere," says me. "They say on a windy winter night if you listen real close you can hear him howlin for vengeance over a bottle a Sprite." "A refreshing bottle of Sprite," says Giblets. "Just the thing we need after a hard day's work at Emergency Medical Fafblog!" "Weeeeeeooooooeeeeeeeooooooo!" says the pineapple. "Weeeeeeooooooeeeeeoooo!" -- Fafblog...
I am the John E. and Marva M. Warnock Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Utah.
Post-doctoral opening
I'm looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher to work with me at the School of Computing. The position is initially for one year, with the possibility of extension for another year based on mutual consent. Applicants must have expertise in algorithms and computational geometry, and preferably should have experience with high-dimensional geometry, approximations, and large data algorithms (external memory/streaming/etc). Some familiarity with differential geometry is a definite plus.
For more on my research, visit my webpage. To apply, please send me a CV, a statement, and three letters of reference. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about the position.
Brief Bio
I did my undergraduate work at IIT Kanpur, and my Ph.D at Stanford. Prior to coming to Salt Lake, I spent seven years at the Information Visualization Research Group at AT&T Labs - Research. If you want more details, I have a full bio.
Research
I work in algorithms and computational geometry, with a current interest in algorithmic statistics, information theory, and large data sets. My research page has much more information on the work that I do.
One of the fun things I do is play with graphics cards.
And when I'm not....
I do other things, like blogging and playing with maps.
