Resume (English only)
Academic Achievements
  • Published numerous papers such as 'Elle: Inferring Isolation Anomalies from Experimental Observations' (VLDB 2021), 'Twizzler: a Data-Centric OS for Non-Volatile Memory' (USENIX ATC 2020), 'Fixed It For You: Protocol Repair Using Lineage Graphs' (CIDR 2019), and has given several keynotes including 'Orchestrated Chaos' at Reactive Summit 2016.
Research Experience
  • Current PhD advisor for several students and leads multiple research projects including Twizzler (a clean-slate operating system designed for a data-centric future), Lineage-driven fault injection (exploits data provenance to identify and explain bugs in fault-tolerant distributed systems), Disorderly programming (explores the use of declarative, data-centric languages like Bloom and Dedalus for programming distributed systems).
Education
  • Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering Department, University of California, Santa Cruz
Background
  • Research interests lie at the intersection of databases, distributed systems, and programming languages: in particular, incorporating lessons from the first into the third, and to what degree this mitigates the difficulties of the second.
Miscellany
  • Personal interests not explicitly mentioned
