Welcome to My Home page

This personal web site is for sharing my 'experience' and educational resources with my students, colleagues and collaborators. Presently, involved with a variety of professional activities that includes my role as a representative of the Campus Champion Program for the National University on Teragrid (now, XSEDE). This National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program "supports campus representatives as the local source of knowledge about high-performance computing opportunities and resources". This knowledge and assistance are to empower campus researchers, educators, and students to advance scientific discovery.

Supervise the Technical Interns (see the profiles) working on software developmental projects for NUCRI. Previously, supervised the 'InCommunity' event, which was very successful promoting the 'Cyberinfrastructure' in the Community, an NSF funded project of HASTAC in 2006-2007. Also, teach software engineering/computer science in the School of Engineering and Technology (SOET) and health informatics in the School of Health and Human Services (SHHS) of the National University.

After receiving Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Calcutta (India) under Prof. J. J. Ghosh, while working for the Indian Council of Medical Research as a scientific staff with Dr. V. M. Katoch, came to USA for pursuing post-doctoral research work with Prof. Kuni Takayama of the UW- Madison. While working on glycomics at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), earned a Master's degree in Software Engineering from National University. This program of National University run in the evening helped me in gaining knowledge in computer science while earning MSSE degree. This knowledge was useful while writing the microarray/bioinformatics part of the Glue Grant on Glycobiology (PI: James C. Paulson) that received funding from NIH.

Since I joined National University as a fulltime employee, my research interest spans over the interface of molecular biology and software engineering, particularly on grid computing technology and its application in health informatics.
