My interests revolve around system architectures, distributed protocols, and programming language mechanisms that facilitate building large-scale distributed systems. In particular, I'm interested in systems in which distributed multi-party protocols such as reliable multicast, distributed locking, and state machine replication are used pervasively to achieve reliability, fault-tolerance, security, and other sorts of strong guarantees. My research over the past two years has been focused on developing the new live distributed object and distributed data flow abstractions, and the associated programming language, protocols, and platform.
