I'm a PhD candidate at the School of
Engineering of the Univeristy of
California, Santa Cruz. My ressearch focuses on the
design, implementation and evaluation of a file systems metadata
service and query language interface, based on an attributed graph
data model. Previously, I worked on the design and
implemntation of the Linking File System, intended to run in
storage-class memories (formerly MRAM). My advisor is Prof. Carlos Maltzahn in
the Systems Research Lab. Prior to graduate studies, I earned a BA in
Computer Science at Columbia
University and spent several years in industry (firms in NYC).
My research interests include, but are
not limited to: alternative file system data models, query interfaces,
user interfaces (HCI) for systems, distributed system architectures,
and information retrival.
