Biography



I am a researcher at HP Labs since fall 2011. Before HP Labs, I was a postdoctoral fellow at ICSI Berkeley (joint appointment with Intel Labs). I got my PhD from University of California Berkeley and my bachelor degree from Politehnica University Bucharest.

 

Research interests

I am broadly interested in networking, cloud computing and distributed systems.
