Research

My primary research interest lies in self-stabilization and fault tolerance in distributed systems. My dissertation focuses on extensions and refinements of the self-stabilization problems. I focused on problems in the domain of selfish stabilization. I have also worked on self-immune systems. My doctoral advisor is Professor Sukumar Ghosh.
In Spring 2009 and Fall 2008, I participated in the distributed systems reading group. Here is a list of papers we discussed in Fall 2008. Here is a list of relevant distributed systems conferences.
