Projects

   Condor Project:  Currently I’m working on de-centralizing the matchmaker in Condor allowing for better scalability and for flexibility in local administrative policy making, all within a single pool.

   Lawrence Livermore National Lab:  My primary focus is in studying current network overlay topologies in P2P systems and to use methods in computational geometry to design a dynamic overlay that minimizes the mismatch between the p2p overlay and the physical internet topology.  My secondary focus at LLNL has been in exploring broad areas of research including climate modeling, emergency response using P2P systems, scientific simulations of radiation transport through objects, and data fusion of distributed sensor streams.

   Lucky Project:  This project involves a scalability and performance analysis of monitoring information systems in grid environments, specifically Globus' MDS, Condor's Hawkeye, and R-GMA (relational grid monitoring architecture).  Working with Xuehai Zhang (University of Chicago) and Dr. Jennifer Schopf (Argonne National Lab), our goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of potential bottlenecks when a monitoring system is faced with many concurrent queries, many modules, and many machines.  We use NetLogger as our primary tool for analysis.
