CV

Office Hours

Tuesday 2-3
Wednesday 2-3

I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Arizona. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1994, my M.S. in Computer Science from the same place in 1990, and my Sc.B. in Computer Science from Brown University in 1987. I've been involved in the development of the Sprite operating system, the RAID disk array, and the Zebra file system. I am currently doing research in management of large-scale distributed systems, file server virtualization, and peer-to-peer data storage in mobile, ad-hoc networks.

Current Research 

PlanetLab
PlanetLab defines itself as "an open platform for developing, deploying, and accessing planetary-scale services". I am interested in developing the infrastructure necessary to support long-running services. This includes configuration, monitoring, provisioning, resource discovery, and resource allocation.

Teaching

I am currently teaching CS552. I will teach a seminar on peer-to-peer systems in the spring.
