profile
I got a B.S. in computer science from National University of Singapore (1998). My undergraduate adviser is Y.C. Tay. I got a Ph.D. from MIT (2005), working under the guidance of Robert Morris and Frans Kaashoek as a lucky PDOS member. From 2005-2006, I was a postdoc at Berkeley with Scott Shenker.

research
My research interests are in distributed systems and computer networks. Specifically, I am building storage and communication infrastructures that are fast, reliable and easy to use. I work with a group of amazing students in the NYU systems group.
My research is supported in part by the National Science Foundation, Google, and the Sloan Fellowship. I am also proud to be part of the newly founded NYU WIRELESS center.
