    My research interests span the areas of real-time, embedded, cyber-physical systems (such as automotive, avionic, and medical systems) and distributed systems. I am especially interested in theoretical models, analysis methods, design techniques and systems support for building efficient large-scale cyber-physical systems with provable safety, security and timing guarantees. Recently, I have been working on reliable virtualization and cloud infrastructure that can provide strong real-time performance and service guarantees for safety-critical and mission-critical systems, the Internet of Things, and network function virtualization. I am also working on techniques for defending cyber-physical systems and the cloud against DeDOS and malicious attacks, as well as methods for diagnosing performance problems in data centers.

    I am a member of the PRECISE Center, the Real-Time Systems Group, and the Distributed Systems Group.
