Bio
I received my Ph.D in Computer Science from
the University of California,
Berkeley in 2011, and my undergraduate degree in Computer Science
from the
University of Rochester
in 2004. My research focused on the
automated debugging of large-scale concurrent and distributed systems,
primarily using deterministic replay techniques.
