Brief biography

I grew up in Lafayette, LA. (It's a great place to raise kids.) I received my B.S. in Computer Science and in Mathematics at SUNY Stony Brook in 1987 and my Masters in Computer Science at Brown University in 1990; my Masters' advisor was Jeff Vitter. I am now pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU.

Dissertation

My advisors are Alan Siegel and John Wilkes (HP Labs). Additional members of my committee are Tom Cormen (Dartmouth College) and Larry Carter (UCSD).

I am working on my dissertation on self-managing storage systems as a visiting scholar at HP Labs with the Storage Systems Program, under the direction of John Wilkes. This past summer, I modeled devices and applications so that an assignment of applications to devices can be done in a reasonable amount of time with minimum device cost. This is an important part of attribute-managed storage. (See our MSIO paper for more information.)

I am currently working on modeling realistic storage devices; one use of such a model for attribute-managed storage. (My current unoffical thesis proposal.) A more coherent view of my work is found in this one-page paper. Self-managing storage systems, which is one possible application of my work, is decided in an OSDI work-in-progress paper.

I have designed a application programmer interface for multiprocessor multi-disk file systems. (See the published papers section.)
