Currently my research interests lie in the area of operating systems and graphics.
My current focus is in peer-to-peer file systems. I am in the process of building a peer-to-peer file system, called Mammoth, that is highly scalable, reliable, and adaptable. Distribution and replication is at the granularity of files which enables us to co-locate data closer to the clients and exploit access locality.
In the area of computer graphics my interest mainly lie in polygonal model simplification and level of detail management. For my Masters thesis I developed a quick and robust simplification algorithm called R-Simp. What makes R-Simp different from other simplification algorithms is that it simplifies from a coarse representation to a fine one and hence is able to achieve the goal of a simplified model quicker.
My Ph.D. thesis is entitled Policy Driven Replication ( ps.gz) ( pdf) (Abstract).
My Masters thesis is entitled R-Simp: Model Simplification In Reverse, A Vector Quantization Approach ( ps.gz) ( pdf) (Abstract).
