Alvin AuYoung

Research Scientist
Palo Alto

Biography

I am a member of the Intelligent Infrastructure Lab within HP Labs. I joined the SIMPL group in 2012 after a short stint as a CIFellows post-doc with Partha Ranganathan and the NGDC group. I received my PhD from UC San Diego under the supervision of Alex C. Snoeren and my B.S. from UC Berkeley in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

 

Research interests

 Distributed systems, data analysis frameworks, balanced server design (for sustainability), applied economics and game theory, resource allocation.
