Sunita Chandrasekaran joined the University of Delaware in Fall 2015 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer & Information Sciences. She is also an affiliated faculty with the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CBCB). Prior to joining UDel, Sunita worked with Dr. Barbara Chapman as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of Houston, Houston, TX, USA. She received her PhD from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, under the supervision of Dr. Douglas Maskell, for developing a high-level portable software toolchain for complex embedded reconfigurable hardware (FPGA). She received her Bachelors of Engineering in Electrical and Electronics (EEE) from Anna University, India. CV attached.

Sunita's research interests include programming accelerators (GPUs), exploring the suitability of high-level parallel programming models such as OpenMP and OpenACC for current and future platforms, developing software programming stack for embedded systems using industry standards such as Multicore Association (MCA) and validating & verifying emerging directive-based parallel programming models.

Sunita is currently looking for students to work with on her research projects; if interested, please contact me with a copy of your CV. Students with bioinformatics background are also welcome to apply.
