About me

I have graduated with a PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University. There, I worked with Professor David Andersen doing research in the areas of distributed systems, operating systems, and practical data structures and algorithms. You can find my PhD thesis here.

My main project was Egalitarian Paxos, which I presented at SOSP 2013. Follow-up work on better leasing strategies in Paxos won the Best Paper award at SOCC 2014.

Research & Pubs

• Egalitarian Paxos: A new Paxos-based state machine replication protocol that achieves optimal wide-area latency, high throughput and graceful performance degradation when replicas are slow or crash.
• OS support for fast non-volatile memories: OS-level tools for accommodating fast non-volatile memory (e.g. PCM) on the memory bus.
• Feed-forward Bloom filters: Very fast pattern matching for millions of patterns at once.
