Short Biography
During his
Bachelors degree in India Mitesh
worked on a part time basis
developing e-commerce prototypes
for small scale clients. During
his studies, two years were paid
by Reliance Industry
scholarships. Upon graduation he
traveled from India to UTEP for graduate studies in
1999.
Mitesh has been
in UTEP for close to four years
during which he has worked with
Dr Longpre for his Masters
degree in the area of Computer
Security and implemented a
digital contract solution as a
Masters Project. Upon completion
of MS degree he took up a
software engineering job in the
year 2001 for Motorola
developing real time
applications.
After one year
of job experience, he came back
to UTEP to complete his PhD
degree. After one year in the
program, and upon completion of
the Qualifying exams he joined
POEMS group as a Research
Assistant with Dr Teller in the
area of performance modeling.
Mitesh is in the process of
finding a suitable problem in
the area of performance modeling
for a dissertation topic.
Ricky is currently
working on the use of
sampled event traces
acquired from
performance counters to
capture the behavior of
application/machine
pairs. He has done two
internships at Lawrence
Livermore National
Laboratory working on
performance analysis of
multiprocessor systems.
