I completed my Ph.D. at the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University in June 2013.
You can find my thesis here - Dynamic Server Provisioning for Data Center Power Management.
I was awarded the 2013 SPEC Distinguished Dissertation Award for my thesis.
Starting August 2013, I will be a Post Doctoral Researcher in the Cloud Optimization and Analytics group at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.
Starting August 2014, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University.
