Postdoc Opportunity  A new postdoc opportunity is opening up in my group. Please check here for the details. Research Interests At Waterloo Advanced Systems Lab (WASL) our research interests are in the area of computing systems with a special focus on distributed and operating systems. I am interested in building highly efficient systems by leveraging recent advances in hardware technology and by exploiting domain specific optimizations. My current projects focus on building software-defined storage system for workflow applications, exploring fundamental reliability and scheduling problems in the Linux I/O stack, and exploiting recent advances in software-defined networks and multicore platforms to accelerate storage systems. Short Bio I completed my PhD at the Networked Systems Laboratory in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at The University of British Columbia, advised by Prof. Matei Ripeanu. During my PhD I completed five internships at Microsoft Research Lab, Microsoft Azure, IBM Research, NEC Lab, and Argonne National Lab. After my PhD I joined the Computer Science Department at the University of Wisconsin - Madison as a postdoc, working with Prof. Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau and Prof. Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau, and the ADSL research group. Nowadays, I am an Associate Professor at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. Longer CV can be found here. Professional Activities
