		I am specialized in Theoretical and Computational Turbulent  
	Fluid Mechanics and expert in SIMD programming on Connection Machine 
	(CM-200 & CM-5). Currently I am working for the Army High Performance 
	Computing Research Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. 
	Finite Difference and Finite Element is one of my favorite field 
	for Numerical Analysis on PC, CM, UNIX, or VAX. I will graduate in 
	August 1994 from New Mexico State University with a Ph.D. degree in 
	Mechanical Engineering.  I am also having a three years work 
	experience in Research and Development with an aerospace agency. 

		Currently I am working on numerical modeling of 2-D 
	turbulent  channel flow for known or unknown pressure gradient on 
	CM200 and CM5.  As a teaching/research assistant, I have been 
	teaching higher under-graduate classes and assisted in research 
	projects. I enjoy working in team and I am not afraid of heavy 
	responsibility. I feel comfortable in working in both national 
	and international setting.  

		I will appreciated your consideration and I would welcome  
	the opportunity to discuss my background with you personally. If you 
	are interested in reviewing  my transcript, I will be happy to mail 
	you a copy.  Please feel free to call me for any additional 
	information you might need at (505) 522-7516.
