Research

My research is in the broad area of distributed systems. My particular interest lies in supporting multi-platform applications at the middleware and systems-levels. The context for my work has been Grid and Cloud platforms with a focus on techniques to achieve performance and reliability. This research is enabled by a wide-set of collaborators: NSF I/UCRC: Cloud Storage, ePCRN: Middleware for distributed clinical trials, DPA: Distributed programming abstractions, and the DCSG: Cloud Systems. I am affiliated with the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute (MSI) and the Digital Technology Center (DTC).
Publications are here (updated July 2009).
