My Father and I backpacking in Wyoming's Wind River Mountains.

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the George Washington University. I am also a member of the Center for Networking and Distributed Systems at the Johns Hopkins University.

I received my Masters in Science and Engineering in Computer Science in Spring 1998 from Johns Hopkins. I received my Ph.D in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins in 2002. The title of my thesis is Practical Wide Area Group Communication.

My main research focus is high performance group communications for distributed applications. I am the chief architect of the Spread Group Messaging Toolkit which provides wide area, high performance reliable multicast messaging with membership, strong failure and ordering semantics, and a professional quality implementation.

I graduated from Cornell University in 1995 with a B.A. in Mathematics. I highly recommend the Ithaca area and Cornell to anyone interested in a broad minded, highly intellectual, rewarding environment to study and live in.

Teaching

I am teaching CS 251 Distributed Operating Systems this Fall (2002) at George Washington.

I have taught Distributed Systems at Johns Hopkins for the past few years with Yair Amir. The course information page has lecture and assignment information. The Past lectures and course information for the course are available.
