My research interests are in distributed systems and computer networks. Specifically, I am building storage and communication infrastructures that are fast, reliable and easy to use.

My research is supported in part by the National Science Foundation, Google, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

I work with a group of awesome students in the Networks and Wide-area Systems Group.

About me

I got a B.S. in computer science from National University of Singapore (1998). My undergraduate adviser is Y.C. Tay. I got a Ph.D. from MIT (2005), working under the guidance of Robert Morris and Frans Kaashoek as a lucky PDOS member. From 2005-2006, I was a postdoc at Berkeley with Scott Shenker.
