My main areas of interest
are Operating Systems, Distributed Systems, and Computer Networks.
Within these disciplines,
I work mainly in the areas of resource management, scheduling, and performance analysis.
I am interested in performance issues in a variety of distributed systems:
volunteer Grids, data centers, clouds, and hosting platforms.
The key focus of my work has been
(i) to provide
system support for data- and compute-intensive applications,
and
(ii) making these systems self-managing and reliable.
My research involves developing resource management techniques geared
towards achieving the following goals in these platforms:
- Reliability and fault tolerance in the face of frequent and diverse failures.
- Adaptability to changing workloads and resource availability.
- Scalability over large scales and heterogeneous components.
- QoS guarantees and service differentiation for hosted applications and services.
