Pritish Jetley

Department of Computer Science
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

They call me 'Pritish Jetley.' I call them 'They,' and between Us and Them, the world spins as it always has and nothing changes and nothing remains the same. Where do we go from here?

On a less surreal note, I am Pritish Jetley, a student with Prof Kale's Parallel Programming Lab and two years into the pursuit of my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, which would perhaps explain, if not justify, my intermittent but usually short-lived ventures into existential repartee. I spent four of the best years of my life at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, where I was with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. And while the B.Tech. degree conferred upon me in 2006 wasn't exactly incidental, I have learnt much else from that part of India and those I have come to call friends.

Here is a copy of my resume.

Research:

Learning for its own sake is a most noble endeavor; I would like nothing better than to learn for a living but the world and its ways expects more of me. In my time as a research assistant to Prof Kale, I've developed an interest in parallel programming languages and emerging parallel architectures such as the GPU and their use in general purpose scientific computation.

Until recently, I've had something of a disdain for all things related to money (if Messrs Gilmour, Waters, Wright and Mason are to be believed, `Money, so they say is the root of all evil today.') That was before I'd encountered the fascinating field of Computational Finance and its many riches, academic and otherwise. I've also enjoyed learning about the theory of stochastic processes and hope to some day put my knowledge to use in the development of a mathematical model of message-driven computation.
