Associate Professor
Computer Science and Engineering Division
University of Michigan
How to reach me:
Broadly speaking, my research group investigates interesting topics in operating systems, mobile computing, storage, and distributed systems. I am currently interested in creating software systems that allow concurrent programs to execute more reliably on multicore computers, as well as tools that help developers and administrators troubleshoot software problems such as misconfigurations. I am also interested in enabling demanding applications to run on small, mobile computers, as well as consumer electronic devices such as cell phones, DVRs, and mp3 players. These platforms are limited in compute cycles, storage capacity, and battery energy, making this area a fun and challenging one in which to work!
That's just a sample. More detail on ongoing projects, publications, and software can be found on the home page for my research group.
