I am a computer science graduate student at UNC-Chapel Hill in the Real-Time Systems Group. More specifically, I am a research assistant (RA) for Prof. Jim Anderson.

My primary research interest is virtual real-time scheduling, in which real-time scheduling and synchronization policies are decoupled from the operating system and instead reside in userspace. (See "Publications," below, for further information.) More generally, I am interested in adaptive software platforms (operating systems and middleware) for next-generation real-time systems, particularly unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and other "cyber-physical" systems.

I am a 2010 and 2011 NC Space Grant Graduate Research Fellowship recipient.

I have interned at Northrop Grumman Corp. for 3 summers, working on real-time systems-related work for next-generation UAVs.

My resume is here.
