My research focuses on addressing systems-related challenges for developing large-scale distributed systems, specifically those encompassing the cloud and the edge of the network. My current interests are in unlocking the scientific and societal potential in 'Edge computing', referred to as the next Internet frontier.
I teach CS5052: Data-Intensive Systems that focuses on the design of large-scale distributed systems encompassing the cloud and the edge.
I also supervise undergraduate and postgraduate projects.
