Boston, MA
I’m a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Northeastern University. I study computer systems performance through queueing theory, stochastic modeling and simulation. My work spans system performance modeling, workload characterization, trace-driven/discrete-event simulation, and the design of high-fidelity, generalizable benchmarks.
I am currently working with Prof. Peter Desnoyers in the Systems Research Group.
