My current research is focused on the use of virtual machines in mobile environments in order to provide an Internet Suspend/Resume paradigm of computing. The research seeks to apply virtual machine migration techniques along with replication and mobility prediction to provide a ubiquitous personal computing environment.
Previous research work centered around the development of Byzantine fault tolerant file systems as part of the Agile Store Project.
I am also keenly interested in technologies and policies for developing regions. I have worked with Dr. Michael Best and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on last mile wireless connectivity projects in Rwanda, Mozambique, and Nigeria.
