Education

I am a PhD Student in the Computer Science and EngineeringDepartment at UC San Diego. I am part of the Systems and Networking Groupworking under Alex Snoeren.

I completed my B.S. in the Computer Science Department at Harvey Mudd College in 2006. I received my M.S. from UCSD in 2008.

Projects

scc

The goal of scc is to model data center application requirements and the possible configurations to identify a low cost server configuration that can satisfy a given workload. Dcswitch projects page

Stout

Applying ideas from congestion control to storage to adaptively achieve a good tradeoff between latency and throughput for clients of distributed storage systems. This is work with John Dunagan and Alec Wolman at Microsoft Research.

Decongestion Control

Working with Barath Raghavanon [Decongestion Control](www.cs.ucsd.edu/~snoeren/ papers/decongestion-hotnets06.pdf). Approaching the congested network problem with network coding that is insensitive to dropped packets.

Potemkin

I spent time working on the Potemkin Virtual Honeyfarm. My contributions included extending flash-cloning to fully-virtualized machines in Xen as well as re-architecting portions of the honeyfarm control code and building the new vt-enabled honeyfarm cluster. (Potemkin The Historical Object).
