Ms. Pundaleeka received her MS degree in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Her M.S. research work concentrated on integration of components developed in different languages. It explores the integration of Java and C++ components. The work was part of the Boeing's Open Experimental Platform (OEP) from DARPA Program Composition for Embedded System (PCES). Her work enabled the CORBA applications (OEP) to plug-in different event channel using either Framework for Aspect Composition EvenT channel (FACET), a customizable Event Channel developed using Java and AspectJ, or TAO Real-Time Event Channel (RTEC) developed in C++, transparently and efficiently.

She is currently working on a project called CoReViz, which allows data analysis and visualization of very large data sets on remote servers, while viewing and manipulating complex two- and three-dimensional graphical objects locally in real time. FarSight is a client/server system that uses both secure shell utilities (such as ssh and scp) and CORBA.
