I am a graduate student in the PhD program at the Department of Computer Science in UIUC. I work together with a wonderful group of people in the Systems Research Group, supervised by Professor Roy Campbell (my advisor). I expect to graduate in May 2008 and am currently looking for jobs in industry. My research area is system dependability, focusing in particular on reliability and security. You may visit my Research and Publications pages for more information.

I will be presenting a poster on QInject, a virtual machine based fault injection tool at ASPLOS 2008 in Seattle. I am also a co-author on Ellick's poster at the same venue: MemCrawler, a tool to discover structures in memory for forensics and recovery.

We were just notified that our paper, Cloaker: Hardware Supported Rootkit Concealment, has been accepted for publication in the proceedings of IEEE S&P 2008 in Oakland, CA.

Our paper advocating application mobility with adaptation as a solution to working in a pervasive computing environment, has been published by Springer Verlag in the proceedings of OTM 2007.

Two papers I worked on: Building a Self-Healing Operating System and iKernel: Isolating Buggy and Malicious Device Drivers Using Hardware Virtualization Support, have both been accepted for publication in the proceedings of the 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing (DASC'07)

Jeff's paper, Back in a Flash! - Fast Recovery using Non-Volatile Memory and my paper, Transparent Recovery from Operating System Errors, will be published in a supplemental volume to the proceedings of the conference on Dependable Systems and Networks, 2007.
