Research Interests:

My research interests and expertise are in how to build dependable distributed systems. I approach this problem from a systems perspective with liberal adaptation of results from the analytical side. The problems that motivate our research are why do distributed systems break when subjected to natural errors or man-made errors (malicious or operational). Knowing this, how can we build runtime mechanisms that will make it possible to prevent the errors from becoming user-visible failures. The work involves systems building, systems breaking, conducting rigorous experiments, and learning insights about real systems from these experiments. Specific applications so far have come from: grid systems, large-scale parallel applications, Voice over IP (VoIP) systems, web services, embedded wireless networks, and wireless sensor-actuator systems.
