About Me
I am a first year Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Department of Computer Science advised by Dr. James H. Anderson. I am working in the Real-Time Systems Group on multi-processor real-time locking protocols.
I received a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering and a B.A. in Mathematics with honors in Computer Science from Bucknell University in 2011. At Bucknell, I worked with Dr. Felipe Perrone where I developed tools for automating network simulation experiments to ensure the credibility of results. I was the primary developer of the Simulation Automation Framework for Experiments (SAFE), project which is still under development at Bucknell and within the ns-3 community.
