Who I Am

I work with Dr. Gregory Chockler as a post-doc at IBM Research in Haifa. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Cornell University in August 2009, where my advisor was Prof. Ken Birman. In May 2005, I received my B.Sc. degree in Mathematics from the University of Iceland. My advisor there was Prof. Magnus M. Halldorsson.

My research is focused around distributed systems and cloud computing, and I am particularly interested in real-world problems that embody deep trade-offs. Other research interests include mathematical modeling, data mining, computer security, randomized algorithms and computational biology.

Here is my Curriculum Vitae (updated in August 2010).
