Research
Interests
I am interested in anything distributed - my
current research interests revolve around virtualization and cloud computing where I am looking at problems in derivative clouds and serverless computing, VM provisioning, placement and
migration. I am also looking into auto provisioning for Spark applications and distributed learning mechanisms as it relates to IoT applications. I have started dabbling in performance modeling of Blockchain and adaptive consensus in large scale distributed applications.
