About Showmic

I am a HPC Application Specialist working with the Holland Computing Center and a Research Computing Facilitator at the OSG. Though my official position is through the Holland Computing Center, as part of my job I also work as a postdoc with Dr. Joseph Turner at the MME dept.

My background is in mechanical engineering and I obtained my PhD degree with a focus on ultrasonic NDE (Non-Destructive Evaluation) of materials. My dissertation was focused on characterizing two-phase polycristalline materials using ultrasonic responses from synthetic microstructures.

I enjoy working with challenging problems, coding, learning new techniques. I am also an amateur photographer. I enjoy traveling and phtographing wildlife and landscapes. I am learning new things through my research and work with distributed high throughput computing. I am planning to share the methods and knowledge in different posts through my website.
