Wireless
I have previoulsy worked on the evaluation of self-calibrating techniques for location detection in enterprise 802.11 networks. One of the key goals of this work was to find and understand failures that are unique to each system as well as those that are systematic and have no solution.On the Empirical Performance of Self-calibrating WiFi Location Systems

I also presented a poster on my work an the 2009 winter CNS research review.
Summer 08
During the summer of 2008 I worked at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. While there I worked under Olaf Manczak on Project Live*. Standard techniques for software distribution and configuration have been unable to scale to the size of enterprise data centers. Live* leverages the power of several well known abstractions and tools as well as some new ideas to bridge the gap between ease-of-use and customizability.My work focused on "Constructing One Click Virtual Machines". One of my key tasks was to build a GUI that allowed one to use the Live* framework to build and launch a fully customized Virtual Machine with only a few mouse clicks. A copy of the talk I gave at the conclusion of my internship can be found here.
