Research Interests
My research interests are in databases and
distributed systems, although I used to work in bioinformatics. Currently, I'm working
on building high-performance relational databases that use solid-state NAND
flash disks for storage (with Sam
Madden and Barbara Liskov). Previously at MIT, I've worked on the
HQ
Byzantine Fault Tolerance protocol, the
C-Store column-oriented
database, and the MapJAX system
for AJAX web application development.
