Employment History
2014-Present:
Professor, Department of
Computer and Information Sciences (CIS), Temple University, Philadelphia, PA.
I currently conduct
research in several areas: energy and configuration management in data centers,
Lightweight processing and conflicts in edge computing systems, magnetic
communications for intra-body networks, security in smart grid, emerging
storage technologies, and QoS in data center storage.
2010
- 2013: Research Professor, Center for
Secure Information Systems (CSIS), George Mason University (GMU).
My research at GMU was
also in the areas of security and robustness issues in data centers. My recent
work is also focused on robustness in the Internet, particularly robustness of
DNS/DNS-SEC and of inter-domain routing (BGP).
While at GMU, I also
served as a Program Director in the CISE/CNS division at the National Science
Foundation. At NSF, I managed computer systems research (CSR) program in the
CNS division and actively support a few other programs such as Expeditions in
Computing and Cyber-physical systems. Over the years, I was instrumental
in expanding the scope of the CSR program by addition of several emerging areas
including energy and sustainability, pervasive computing and communications,
high performance computing, and cloud computing.
I was also
deeply involved in the development of solicitations for the NSF-wide initiative
called SEES (Science, Engineering
and Education for Sustainability) and represented CISE directorate in this
initiative at multiple levels. In particular, I was intimately involved in the
development of several SEES solicitations and subsequently running the funding
competitions including Earth Systems Modeling (EASM), Sustainable Energy
Pathways (SEP), Sustainability Research Networks (SRN), Research Coordination
Networks (RCN), Hazard and Disaster Management (HazardSEES), Cyber enabled
sustainability science and engineering (CyberSEES), etc.
I was also
actively driving international collaboration initiatives within NSF in
emerging fields of pervasive computing, sustainability, and infrastructure
security. In particular, I helped initiate a very successful US-India
collaborative research program called PC3 (pervasive computing &
communications collaboration) that currently has several successful ongoing
projects in several pervasive computing topics. I also co-advised and continue
to co-advise Ph.D. students at several institutions including ones at GMU,
Hanyang University (Korea), Univ of Texas/Arlington, University of Minnesota,
and University of North Carolina/Charlotte.
2008
- 2010: Program Director, CISE/CNS
Division, National Science Foundation
This is a position at NSF similar to the current one. In addition to
managing CSR and other NSF programs, I started an initiative on energy
efficiency of IT, particularly data centers. This sub-area within CSR continues
to attract increasing interest from the community. I also started initiative in
enhanced international collaboration and organized several workshops for
international collaboration targeted at areas like pervasive computing &
social networking, infrastructure security, and computer networks and
distributed systems. I coadvised 3 Ph.D. students during this time.
Research
Collaborations: I have active collaborations
with several universities. I have collaborated closely with University of
California at Davis since 2004 in the areas of robustness issues in the
Internet, with University of Minnesota on energy efficient and sustainable computing
since 2009, with University of Texas at Arlington on energy adaptation in peer
to peer networks since 2009, and with Hanyang University (Korea) on emerging
nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) technologies since 2008. Currently I am
collaborating with University of North Carolina, Charlotte on security
configuration for data centers.
1997 - 2008: Senior Performance Analysis Engineer, Digital Enterprise
Group, Intel Corp, Hillsboro, OR.
Mainstream
R&D Areas: A significant part of my
work was focused in designing new algorithms for power management of platform
resources (DRAM ranks, DRAM-CPU interconnect, etc.) and detailed evaluation of
their performance impact. Many of these power management algorithms were either
adopted or heavily influenced power management architecture in Intel systems.
Another key research was in the area of asset localization in data centers
using wireless USB radios and its platform implementation issues. My related
work spanned various aspects of data centers including real-time resource
management, network virtualization, high speed networking, advanced transport
layer features, metering and monitoring in a virtualized environments, hardware
protocol acceleration, etc. My work on transport layer acceleration was
critical in deciding Intel’s direction in this space.
Other
work: One major theme of my work in
Intel was the detailed architectural modeling of server platforms from a
variety of perspectives. These models typically include details of processor
busses/links, memory pipeline, IO busses, network processing, etc. and were
used to assess impact of a variety of new HW capabilities on the performance of
server benchmarks such as TPC-C, TPC-H, SpecWeb 99/2005, etc. These
models were routinely used in deciding overall architecture of Intel servers
for various segments. In particular, I extensively studied hardware
acceleration of various sorts (e.g., TCP, XML, encryption, authentication,
compression, etc.), and the impact of inter-process communication latency on
the performance of clustered database systems. I also worked on a variety of
other research/implementation projects at Intel, including new server
architectures that integrate compression into the DRAM, Internet server traffic
characterization in terms of self-similarity and transactional properties, peer
to peer computing, and network virtualization and utility computing. At Intel I
was also involved with committees responsible for evaluating proposals
submitted to Intel for funding.
Research
Collaboration and Funding: During my tenure at
Intel, I collaborated extensively with UC/Davis and wrote several joint NSF
funding proposals. Two of these proposals were funded and supported much
of my joint research with UC/Davis. In addition, during 2004-5, I spent
one year as a visiting researcher at UC/Davis to study advanced transport
features for data center networks. This visit was entirely supported by a
competitive research grant funded by Intel Research. During this time I
also initiated a new project on meta-data channel based security in the
Internet and was successful in having it funded (along with UC/Davis) by Intel
IT-research (different from Intel research). The work on these projects
involved close supervision of two Ph.D. students. I also worked closely
with Southern Illinois University and advised a Ph.D. student there on the
topic of UWB radio based asset localization in data centers. During this period
I also carried out key work in two areas of Internet robustness: impact of
large scale failures on the behavior of inter-domain routing via the BGP
protocol, and robustness issues associated with plain and secure domain name
service (DNS).
1991-1997: Senior Member of Technical Staff; Engineering,
Performance, and Control department, Telcordia (formerly Bellcore), Red
Bank, NJ.
R&D
Areas: Telecommunications systems cover
two major areas of R&D: operations support system (OSS) and switching
systems (SS), and I have extensive experience on both of these sides. On the
OSS side, I examined issues relating to automatic provisioning of telephone
service which requires interactions with dozens of database systems. I
developed both mathematical and simulation models to study completion times for
automated provisioning. On the switching side, I examined a variety of issues
relating to signaling associated with call management. In particular, I worked
extensively on congestion control and link error monitoring in both narrow-band
and broadband SS7 (signaling system No. 7) networks. I also examined a variety
of engineering issues relating to SS7, personal communication systems (PCS),
ISDN, AIN (advanced intelligent network), impact of data connections on voice
networks, etc. Much of this work was critical in supporting Bellcore’s generic
requirements for US regional telecommunications networks and formed a part of
those requirements. During this time, I published extensively in the
areas of congestion control, performance modeling, and error monitoring. During
this time I was promoted to grade “H” (or consultant) which was the highest
grade in the technical ladder.
1989-1991: Assistant and then tenured Associate Professor of Computer
Science at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA.
1985-1989: Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Pennsylvania State
University, University Park, PA.
Teaching,
Research and Funding: I taught
undergraduate courses in operating systems and database systems which routinely
enjoyed overflow enrollments and very high student scores. I also
developed and taught graduate courses in several advanced areas including
computer system performance modeling, advanced operating systems, distributed
systems, and fault-tolerant computing. My primary areas of research were
computer system performance modeling and fault tolerant computing, and the
research was funded by NSF and DoD. During this time, I also wrote a
highly regarded and comprehensive graduate textbook on mathematical performance
modeling (listed above). I personally established, managed, and supported
the first networked laboratory of SUN workstations at Penn State for research
and teaching in networked systems. Several students were trained in networking
and systems issues on this very early networked system.
1981-1984: Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.
Teaching/Research: Developed and taught undergraduate courses in several areas
including: digital circuits & logic design, compiler design, and operating
systems. Designed and delivered graduate courses/seminars in fault-tolerant
computing, operating systems, and software engineering. During this time my
research was primarily focused on fault-tolerant software design but
increasingly was directed towards performance modeling issues.
