Research

Data Parallel Programming Models

My on-going research focus is parallel programming models and multi-core architectures. My practical experience spans from real-time imaging applications to distributed and multi-device HPC applications.

Medical Ultrasound

I am currently working with BK Medical on developing real-time image processing for medical ultrasound using low-cost, low-power, data-parallel hardware.

OpenCL SURF

I am a contributor to an open-source, OpenCL implementation of OpenSURF, called clSURF. Using the latest AMD GPUs, we can process a 640x480 image with 500 interest points in under 10ms.

Tomosynthesis Mammography

I am a contributor to the GPU implementation of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis at Massachusetts General Hospital. Particularly the multi-GPU implementations in OpenCL and CUDA.

Hyperspectral Imaging with GPUs

In the past I have worked with James Goodman at UPRM on developing GPU-based imaging for remote sensing of shallow submerged marine ecosystems.
