I'm a graduate student at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, under supervision of Professor Cristiana Amza.

My research interest is autonomic computing. I am exploring machine learning techniques for fault analysis and resource provisioning in large scale, distributed software systems.

• Resource provisioning in dynamic content servers
• Anomaly detection and root cause analysis
• Machine learning approach to performance modeling
