RESEARCH & INNOVATION
RESEARCH & INNOVATION
My PhD focused on building survivable distributed systems using interceptors to enable transparent replication of application-level components. When my advisors launched a startup based on our group's research, I helped develop the showcase apps for our flagship product, and demonstrate its capabilities at numerous industry and VC events.
I spent over a decade at Motorola Research, leading projects in ubiquitous computing, social search, ad hoc networking, multi-screen advertising and more. I authored 10+ issued patents & 20+ peer-reviewed publications. I also oversaw collaborations with top-tier universities like Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, UIUC, University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) and Emory.
I served on Patent Committees (internal) and Technical Program Committees (external) and was nominated to Motorola's Scientific Advisory Board. I also recruited the majority of full-time and summer intern hires in my department and served on the thesis committees of MS and PhD students.
