A PhD student of Computer Science
My research focuses on tackling challenges in High-Performance Computing, Parallel, and Distributed Systems, with a particular emphasis on resource management for elastic applications and workflows at scale. I am also involved in Computational Earth Science and Citizen Science research, contributing to interdisciplinary efforts to solve real-world problems through advanced computational methods.
About me
Motivated and highly enthusiastic individual, with a desire for learning new things of all kinds so as to apply the broad accumulated knowledge from education and experience, in solving various world problems.
I solve problems.
I love to solve the computing problems and find easy and efficient solutions. With over 7 years of experience in software development, project management, and research, I bring a diverse skill set and a strong ability to navigate complex technical problems. I have worked in multicultural environments across Nepal, Japan, Thailand, and the USA, which has enriched my perspective and adaptability in collaborative and cross-cultural projects.
