I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Dept. of Computer Science at Rutgers University. My research interests center on the intersection of two areas: mobile and pervasive computing, and file systems and storage. More generally, my interests include topics in the areas of operating systems, distributed systems, and system security. I am a member of the Laboratory for Network-Centric Computing (DiscoLab) advised by Professor Liviu Iftode. I also work with Professor Mahadev Satyanarayanan (Canegie Mellon University) and Professor Vinod Ganapathy (Rutgers University).

I have received an M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science from Rutgers University. Prior to that, I attended Christian Brothers Academy, Lincroft, NJ.

On a personal note, I am happily married to my wife, Marcy, with whom I have had the opportunity to travel to many excellent places, both inside and outside the US. Together we continue to have many interesting and fun adventures, which include taking care of the menagerie of animals we have acquired together.

I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
