Oliver Alvarado Rodriguez is an incoming Software Engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise working on the Advanced Development Team where he will join the Chapel project. He successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation in March 2025 at the New Jersey Institute of Technology under the advisement of Distinguished Professor David A. Bader. His dissertation, “On the Design of a Framework for Large-Scale Exploratory Graph Analytics,” focused on the development of Arachne, a novel framework designed to bridge the gap between high-performance computing and Python-based exploratory graph analytics. Oliver earned his B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics from William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ, graduating summa cum laude in May 2020. During his undergraduate studies, he was a member of the Honors College, the Upsilon Pi Epsilon Honor Society for the Computing and Information discipline, and was honored with the Omicron Omega Award for excellence in Computer Science. During his Ph.D. studies, Oliver served as the student keynote speaker at the Academic Data Science Alliance meeting, delivering the talk “Enabling Exploratory Large-Scale Graph Analytics through Arkouda” that laid the groundwork for his Ph.D. dissertation.
