Professional Information

I did my doctoral research with Professor Keith Marzullo, of the University of California at San Diego, on failure detection in asynchronous distributed systems. For more research on failure detectors, see Tushar Chandra's Failure Detection Page. I finally finished my thesis: Approximating Perfect Failure Detectors in Asynchronous Distributed Systems.
