I am an
associate professor in the Department of Computer Science
(CS) at
Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), as well as a guest research
faculty in the Math and Computer Science Division (MCS) at Argonne
National Laboratory (ANL). I am also the founder and director of the
Data-Intensive Distributed
Systems Laboratory (DataSys) at IIT. My research work and
interests are in the general area of distributed systems. My work
has been primarly funded by the NSF and the DOE (see my
grants page).
