Interests:

• Storage Systems: distributed/parallel storage
• Grid Computing: scheduling, security, fault tolerance, and data management
• Network Security
• Algorithm Development

Projects:

Currently, I'm working on the following projects:

• RobuSTore Project: To combine the techniques of erasure coding and speculative accesses for robust and high performance in distributed, shared storage systems.
  This is part of the OptIPuter Project.

• MicroGrid Project.
