About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology. Before joining AUT, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher (under the supervision of Dr. Jatinder Singh) in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at University of Cambridge (CompAcctSys). I was also pleased to be a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Trinity Hall. My primary research interest is computer systems including cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). I completed my computer science Ph.D. in 2019 from the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University. I was proud to be a member of PACE Lab where under the supervision of Dr. Anshul Gandhi, we were working on the following projects. My Ph.D. thesis, Analytical Approaches for Dynamic Scheduling in Cloud Environments, illustrates our research findings.- Improving server utilization in cloud environments (Middleware'17, SOCC'18, SOCC'19)
- Dynamic, interference-aware load balancing for cloud-deployed applications (SOCC'16, ICAC'17, IEEE TCC'19)
- Efficient segment assignment strategy for reducing tail latencies in Pinot (ICDCS'18)
- User-centric detection and estimation of performance interference (IC2E'16, MASCOTS'17)
