I am a Ph.D. candidate working under Prof. Andrew Grimshaw in the Virginia Center for Grid Research. My research interests lie in grid computing, distributed computing, and high performance parallel computing. My recent work consists of two parts: designing and implementing a distributed storage system called Storage@desk, and investigating new approaches in grid resource and data management.

I love teaching. I am a participant of Tomorrow's Professor Today program in Teaching Resource Center at UVA. I TAed for CS444/644 High Performance Parallel Computing in Fall 2007, UVA/VT High Performance Computing Boot Camp in August 2007, CS551 Distributed Systems and Web Services in Spring 2004, and CS453 E-Commerce Technologies in Fall 2003.

When I am away from my computers, I like to play soccer, tennis, swim, jog, and travel. Well, here is yet another quote from Mr. Jefferson: "Give about two hours every day to exercise; for health must not be sacrificed to learning. A strong body makes the mind strong."
