I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

Research

My main research interests are in the areas of Operating Systems, Distributed Systems, and Computer Networks. My research has focused on resource management and performance in distributed systems, such as Clouds, Data centers, Grids, and Mobile platforms, with the goal of achieving higher reliability, scalability, and manageability. Currently, I am working on a number of projects related to these systems, involving issues in data-intensive computing (e.g., Hadoop/MapReduce), user-cloud interactions (e.g., via mobile devices and edge hosts), and virtualization.

I co-lead the Distributed Computing Systems Group in the department. More details can be found about my Research including my current projects, along with a complete list of Publications.
