Udit Patidar, who is this person???
I am a graduate student at the Computer
Science Department at the University of Houston. I am also a PhD student at the School of Computer Science and Communication CSC (previously NADA) at the Royal Institute of Technology KTH in Stockholm, Sweden. At KTH I am affiliated with the Centre for Parallel Computers Paralleldatorcentrum PDC.
After defending my Masters theses in 2007, I have been pursuing my PhD at both institutions. I am working on large scale time series analysis. Specifically, I am interested in devising computational methods that utilise multithreading opportunities and message passing interface to find causality between multiple time series. Methods of time series analysis I use include undirected coherence, correlation and Granger causality-based methods. Computationally, I use OpenMP, MPI and a bit of hybrid OpenMP/MPI methods. The targets of these methods are large time series data sets such as electroencephalography (EEG) recordings or economic time series. The environments I use are primarily MATLAB and C. I am also a HUGE fan of FORTRAN 90+. Currently I am analysing the "emotion" data set where functional connectivity in the healthy human brain is determined when the subject is exposed to affective stimuli. More on the left...
Now, as a grad student, one takes courses, teaches a bit and
then tries to do some research as well. I have a few hobbies that I pursue as well! Since the last few years, I have developed a keep interest in running. I have participated in the Houston marathon 5 km run 14 Jan 2008, Mardi Gras 10 km run 26 Jan 2008, Stockholm half marathon Sept 2008, Surfside beach half marathon 14 Feb 2009 and Austin half marathon 15 Feb 2009. Right now I am preparing for Houston half marathon 26 Oct 2009 and then my first full marathon Mumbai marathon 17 Jan 2010. I am following the schedule set forth by runner's world magazine.
Just as soon as I get more time, I will update this page. Oh
by the way, today is 10 September 2009 11:35
I am currently a teaching assistant for the course in Operating Systems (COSC6360).
