Research Experience
Over the three year period, the doctoral thesis work has provided me with
incredible experience and knowledge. During this time, I have learned how
to identify and solve problems in the real word. The split protocol thesis
was implemented on a bare machine server, where there is no operating
system or a kernel. Understanding and mastering the bare machine computing
posed me with a daunting challenge. Building bare machine Web servers and
clients based on the split concept provided me with vast knowledge and
experience in software development and testing. It also enabled me to
master various network protocols including: HTTP, TCP/IP, and Ethernet.
Numerous benchmark tools such as "httpref," "htpp_load," and "Wire-shark"
were used during the research. Other network elements such as Gateways,
Switches, and Routers were used to build a local Internet to conduct
performance measurements. Installation and configuration of Linux expertise
were needed to set up and run clients on Linux systems. In addition, I have
also experienced in applying for potential grants, NSF, DARPA, NIH and
state agencies. I have conducted breakthrough research in the field of
information technology and Bioinformatics/medical sciences in collaboration
with leading institutions like Harvard Medical College and Wake Forest
University Baptist MED Center., I have mastered the academic aspect of
research including: literature search, identifying research issues, solving
technical problems, planning and executing research plans, writing peer
reviewed papers and presenting at professional conferences.
