About Me

I am a second year Computer Science Ph.D. student at the Max-Plank-Institute for Software System. I am advised by Jonathan Mace in the Cloud Software systems research group.

My research interests include the areas of Network, Distributed, and Database Systems. I like tracing and measuring the performance of software systems as well as improving the accuracy of aggregate query results.

My current research is primarily focused on the topic of tracing in distributed systems. Tracing systems produce a great amount of data and recording all of it would be inefficient because of network and storage constraints. Trace Sampling is a solution to this problem, however, it does not always result in correct uniform random sampled trace data and aggregate query results. I work on a new approach to trace sampling to increase accuracy without introducing extra performance overhead.
