Before joining SDSU she was a research scientist in the Distributed and Grid Computing Group and the Texas Advanced Computing Center at The University of Texas at Austin. Her research is focused on emerging grid and web technologies, including grid portal and middleware technologies. Ms. Thomas is a co-Principle Investigator (co-PI) on the GridPortal Toolkit project, as well as the PI/Co-PI on several funded research projects including the NSF NMI Portals, the NPACI Grid Portals, and the DOE Portals projects. She was also a co-PI on the TACC Extensible Terascale Facility (TeraGrid) Proposal. Before joining TACC, she spent more than 4 years at the San Diego Supercomputer Center where she started the GridPort Toolkit project, which has been used for several large grid portals such as the PACI HotPage, the UCSD Telescience Portal, and the GAMESS - General Atomic Molecular Electronic Structure Systems - Web Port al.

Now that the San Diego Trolley has opened up a new line to SDSU, Consider taking the train/trolley from the North County. Although it takes 70 minutes, you can plan ahead and work on my laptop or read some papers/books. It's better than fighting Southern California traffic! Here are links to the Coaster and Trolley timetables.
