Personal Info:
I am an Associate Professor of Computer science at Virginia Commonwealth University. My Ph.D. in Computer Science is from University College Swansea, part of the University of Wales. My main interest is Database although I am also fascinated by Concurrent Systems and Operating Systems.
Outside of work I spend my time with my family (my husband and two boys) and riding my horse Copperfield.

Here are some pictures of my trip to South Africa.
