Research

My main areas of interest are Operating Systems, Computer Networking, Multimedia Systems, and Distributed Systems.
My graduate research has focused on resource management for self-managing server systems.
 
I am interested in the performance issues on large servers and hosting environments, particularly with respect to
(i) providing system support for data and compute-intensive Internet applications, such as multimedia and Web services, and
(ii) making these systems self-managing and configurable.

Some of the important issues for such systems include achieving scalability and efficient resource usage while providing service differentiation and QoS guarantees to the overlying applications and services. In addition, the complexity of these systems require ease of management and adaptation to changing workloads and service demands. My research involves developing resource management techniques geared towards achieving these goals.
