About me
Research Staff Member
Research lab: Almaden Research Center
I am a Research Staff Member at the IBM Almaden Research Center, which I joined in 2003 after completing my PhD at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm currently one of the technical leaders for the Pleiades project, which is a DARPA-funded effort to demonstrate that a traditional, large, monolithic satellite can be replaced by a group of smaller, individually launched, wirelessly networked and cluster-flown spacecraft modules. My focus within Pleiades is on the middleware for coordinating distributed software applications running across the spacecraft. In general, my research interests include: lightweight distributed consistency control, secure group membership protocols, and algorithms for automatic resource reservation and management.
