Research:

I am a Ph.D student in College of Computing, working with Prof. Karsten Schwan in the System Research Group and CERCS(Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems).

My current research includes SmartPoint, Net-Aware Middleware and Transport(ECho/IQRUDP), Interactive Quality Management in Overlay Network for Enterprise Computing(IQ-Service), Grid Computing, and Resource-Aware Distributed Stream Management Infrastructure(inTransit).
