research overview

  • I am interested in the design of digital computer systems, including aspects of computer architecture, runtime systems, operating systems, networking and storage. My current research addresses resource and power control in microprocessor systems, power-efficient wireless networking and managing very large storage systems as well as wireless networks and spectrum reuse. I currently supervise one Ph.D. students working on aspects of propagation modeling using crowd-sourced measurements.
