Research Interests:
We have a number of research projects in networking, data storage and cyber physical systems. They are listed below.
1. Mass Storage Systems: We are investigating new storage models like object-oriented storage devices and new technology like Solid State d
Drives (SSD). We are especially interested in integrating SSD into the current storage hierarchy to solve a number of challenging issues for storage systems. We are also investigating the security/privacy of data and long-term data preservation issues.
2. Networking Research: We are interested in the future Internet with a large number of embedded processors and sensors connected through the Internet. How the Internet react to situation changes? How mobile and sensor devices will be fully integrated into future Internet?
3. Cyber Physical Systems: We are investigating how to make next generation air transport systems to be safers, more efficient and more secure. We are also interesting the vehicle to vehicle networks. We believe that in the near future not only all vehicles can communicate with each other, but also each vehicle will be able to connect to Internet. What are the technique challenges for building such an infrastructure are the focuses of our study.
