Bio

I am a Phd Student at the Department of Computer Sciences in The University of Texas at Austin. I work in the Laboratory for Advanced Systems Research under the supervision Dr. Mike Dahlin. I received my Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Engineering and Masters of Philosophy in Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong where I was working under the supervision of Dr. Cho-li Wang and Dr. Francis C.M. Lau in the Systems Research Group for my Masters. I have also worked for Motorola Semi-Conductors HK Ltd (now Freescale) as an Engineer.

My research interest lies in the area of distributed computing, specifically data replication and distributed file systems. I am currently working on PADRE, a policy framework over which data replication systems can be easily built. I have previously worked in the area of mobile computing and component software architectures. I have also toyed with autonomic and self-configuring systems.
