Welcome!
I am a doctoral candidate in the school of
Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue
university. My advisors are professors Patrick
Eugster and Xiangyu
Zhang.
I am passionate about building efficient and
reliable computer systems especially distributed
systems. My research interests span distributed systems,
embedded systems and software engineering. For my
thesis, I am developing effective debugging tools for
Wireless Sensor Networks. In the past, I have worked on
fault detection (invariant-based detection),
fault-tolerance (self-stabilization),
fault-avoidance (software rejuvenation) and
high-performance computing such as grid computing and
cloud computing.
I have several years of research and development experience in the industry at companies including Google, Motorola Labs, Alcatel-Lucent among others.
