I am a PhD candidate
in the Department of Computer Science at the In 2002, I received my
bachelor degree from the Computer Science Department, I interned at the
research labs of Google Inc
from February to July, 2007. I joined Yahoo! Inc.
in February 2008. Research Interests I am interested in solving
theoretical and applied problems arising in sensor and ad-hoc networks,
communication networks, and computer systems. In general, my research style
is to try to formalize optimization problems capturing the essence of
real-world problems, find policies that are optimal for these problems, and
finally use experimentation to validate the performance of the discovered
policy in as real of a setting as possible. My current research lies in
designing energy-efficient data management protocols for next-generation
large-scale sensor networks. Publications Conferences: 1. “STDCS: Spatio-Temporal Data-Centric Storage for
