I
am a professor in the Computer and Information Systems (CIS)
department at Temple University, Philadelphia and director of
the Temple site of the NSF IUCRC called CRIS (Center for
Research in Intelligent Storage).
Prior to this I was with Center for Secure
Information Systems (CSIS)
at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA and
serving as a program director in the Computer and Networks
Systems (CNS) division cluster of CISE/CNS division from
2008-2013. Prior
to this, I worked for Intel Corporation on future server
architectures and technologies. My recent research interests
include the following:

My other areas with significant expertise and prior/ongoing work
include (a)
Traffic characterization of internet and e-commerce servers, (b)
Detailed
platform level performance modeling, (c) Network acceleration at
transport and
higher layers, (d) compression technologies, and (e) peer to peer
computing.
Prior to joining Intel, I was with Bellcore
(now
Telcordia) from 1992 to 1997 where I worked on a both Operations
support and
Switching sides of Telecom. In particular, I
worked on
a variety of aspects related to Signaling System no 7 (SS7) including
SS7
congestion control, link error monitoring, capacity
planning
and personal communications technologies. Prior to Bellcore,
I was an associate professor of computer science at Penn State
University
(1985-1991) primarily working in areas of performance modeling and
distributed
systems. From 1981-1985, I was an assistant professor in the EECS
department,
Northwestern University, working mainly in the areas of fault-tolerance
and performance modeling. In 1992, I published a graduate
level textbook
on performance modeling, titled Introduction
to Computer Systems Performance Modeling,
McGraw Hill, 1992.
I
was elected a
fellow of the IEEE for contributions
to enterprise server performance and power management
technologies and Domain Name System Robustness. At NSF, I represented
the CISE
directorate in driving the large Sustainability initiative called SEES
(Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability) from its
inception in
2010 until 2013, including the many funding programs that it produced.
In 2012
I received director’s award for my contributions to SEES.
Available
Positions:
I am
looking for Ph.D.
students and postdocs in multiple areas, but particularly in storage
systems,
data center energy management, and smart grid security.
