Biography

I have a wide variety of research interests, mostly pertaining directly to data storage in supercomputing environments:

Parallel and distributed storage systems
Erasure coding and fault tolerance
Low-level (block or object) storage devices
Heterogeneous computing (e.g., GPUs, accelerators)

Education

Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Alabama at Birmingham, under the advisement of Dr. Anthony Skjellum.

Dissertation: A Highly Reliable GPU-Based RAID System
