About Me
I am currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology with Prof. Ling Liu. My research interests center around distributed systems, Cloud Computing and data management with a focus on performance optimizaton, resource management and security. I recently have been working on research projects related with Cloud monitoring, one of the most fundamenal functionalities that basic Cloud operations such as resource provisioning, power management and task scheduling all rely on. I design a layered approach that addresses performance, efficiency, scalability, reliability as well as monitoring data utility issues at fundamental levels of a Cloud monitoring infrastructure such as data collection, event detection and monitoring data management. In the past, I have also worked on IPTV service delivery, privacy-preserving data management and overlay networks.
My research focuses on both theory and practice. I look to the real world for practical, important and inspiring problems. These problems motive me to devise solutions with provable properties and solid theorectical guarantees. Finally, I build and deploy real systems to implement and evaluate these solutions.
Highlights
- I am a recipient of IBM PhD fellowship award (2011-2012).
- I spent 3 summers at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and 1 summer at VMware working on cutting-edge Cloud related projects.
