RESEARCH

My research is broadly focused in computer systems and networks. Specifically, I do work in mobile and distributed systems. With regards to mobile systems, my primary concern is with end-user access to information of all kinds on such underpowered and constrained devices. With regards to distributed systems my interests vary from issues relating to security, dependability, performance, among others.

For a list of selected topics I have worked on recently, see these projects here.

My academic advisor is Eyal de Lara.
