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.

  • CSCI 2400 - Computer Systems
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2018 / Spring 2020 / Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023
    Covers how programs are represented and executed by modern computers, including low-level machine representations of programs and data, an understanding of how computer components and the memory hierarchy influence performance. Same as CSPB 2400.
  • CSCI 3287 - Design and Analysis of Database Systems
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2019
    Introduces the fundamental concepts of database requirements analysis, database design, and database implementation with emphasis on the relational model and the SQL programming language. Introduces the concepts of Big Data and NoSQL systems. Same as CSPB 3287.
  • CSCI 4253 - Datacenter Scale Computing - Methods, Systems and Techniques
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2019 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2022
