Research
My research focus concerns the software supporting
mobile computing systems, including networking, infrastructure, and end-system
concerns. I'm also interested in measuring and monitoring such systems,
and in building toolkits to help make these tasks simpler. More broadly,
I'm interested in distributed systems, file systems, data repositories,
and measurement and evaluation generally. I lead the Mobility
group here at Michigan. Look there for publications and related materials.
If you are interested in becoming a graduate
student at UM, but are not yet admitted/enrolled, please read this

Teaching
Grad Student Survival
As a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon,
I used to give a talk for new Ph.D. students about how to get through the
program successfully. This
page contains the materials used for that talk, and is probably most
meaningful within the context of CMU. However, some of it may apply
here as well.
You might also be interested in reading about thesis
avoidance.
