Research Interests:
My general area of research is computer/wireless networking.
My current research interest is the application of mathematical optimization, game theory, and online learning
to networked systems (including: computer networks, wireless communications, or distributed systems).
This work involves network resource allocation problems, as well as the optimization of network configurations in
both deterministic and uncertain environments. More specifically, the research topics I am interested in include the following:
Improving Performance of Computer Networks, Distributed Systems and Wireless Communications
Security in Computer Networks, Distributed Systems and Wireless Communications
Workload Scheduling and Thermal Management in Computer Systems
