I have graduated and joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern Unitersity as an assistant professor in Fall, 2009. Please find my new homepage at NEU.
My research interests include storage systems, multi-tier systems, performance evaluation, energy/power management, web characterization, data analysis, system modeling, and scheduling/load balancing. I received my Ph.D degree in Computer Science from College of William and Mary in 2009. My advisor is Dr. Evgenia Smirni . I received my MS degree in Computer Science from University of Texas at Dallas in 2004 and my BS degree in Computer Science from Nanjing University of China in 2000.
