I graduated from CMU in May 2008 – Yes, I did finally get a PhD.

View my profile
I am a PhD candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering
department at Carnegie Mellon University. I used to
design and build intrusion tolerant computer systems. My
current focus is on self-* storage (self-managing, self-tuning,
etc.).
My advisor is Greg Ganger.
The projects I have been involved with here at Carnegie Mellon include Self-Securing Storage Systems (S4), and PASIS. Currently, I am working on the management infrastructure for Self-* Storage.
