Research:
My research spans the areas of distributed systems, networking, and
data-intensive computing. My research efforts broadly fall into i) improving
datacenter networks to better support data-intensive applications, and ii)
enabling developers to build, deploy, and operate applications that support
significantly larger data sizes than is otherwise possible in a sustainable way
(e.g., low cost and low energy requirements).
About me:
I am a member of the Center for Networked
Systems as well as the Systems and Networking Group
in the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering at the University of California,
San Diego. Before becoming a Research Scientist I was a Post-Doc of
Amin Vahdat.
Previous to joining U.C. San Diego, I obtained my Ph.D. from the RAD Lab in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Department at U.C. Berkeley.
My research advisor was Randy H.
Katz. Before that I was an undergraduate in the Department of Computer Sciences at U.T. Austin, studying under
J Strother Moore.
