Biography
My research focus is data-intensive distributed computing, big-data, cloud computing, IoT, network and I/O optimization, performance and energy efficiency in large-scale distributed systems, end-to-end dataflow management, coordination of computation and I/O in distributed environments, and distributed storage management. I designed and developed the Stork distributed data scheduling system currently used by institutions worldwide; and the PetaShare distributed storage network that managed close to a Petabyte of storage located across nine university campuses in Louisiana. I am currently working on data scheduling and optimization as a cloud-hosted service (OneDataShare); and energy-efficient data transfers for green Internet (GreenDataFlow). Major application areas of my research include genomics, health sciences, emergency response, and coastal and environmental sciences.
