Research Interests:
As a part of the Exascale Computing Lab at HP Labs in Palo Alto, I am currently working on next-generation data centers. In particular, our project on “data-centric data centers” is examining how “big-data” applications are going to drive future system architectures. My interests in this space includes Infrastructure-as-a-Service systems, non-volatile memories (Memristor, PCM, and Flash), and distributed frameworks such as Hadoop/MapReduce, HBASE, and other scale-out NoSQL systems.
I enjoy building systems and therefore all this work is based on real implementations deployed in our research data center and the OpenCirrus cloud testbed. The majority of our research is open and is published in the traditional top-tier venues for the systems’ community (NSDI, FAST, SOSP, OSDI, etc.).
