Suraj P. Kesavan

I’m a Ph.D. student at University of California, Davis. My research lies in the field of Information Visualization, and I design interactive visual analytical tools that help analyze data to derive insights that help solve real-life problems. As a main focus, I work in collobaration with research scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, USA to research and develop an interactive tool, called CallFlow, to study performance callgraphs collected from supercomputers.

I obtained my B.S. in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli. (NITT). At NITT, I developed an interest towards coding through Delta, a computer science student club, where I learnt to develop web applications, and represented in multiple Capture The Flag (CTF) events.
