Research

Experience Research Assistant October 2009 - Present

Designed Vrisha, a statistical-rule-based debugging tool to detect and localize scale-dependent

bugs in MPI parallel programs. We have used Vrisha to nd bugs in MPICH2, the de facto im-

plementation of MPI.

Developed a variety of tools for debugging parallel programs including a packet tracing extension

to the MPICH2 library, a call stack accounting tool built upon the Pin dynamic instrumentation

framework, a myriad of data processing scripts and implementations of various machine learning

algorithms in Matlab and R.

Research Assistant August 2008 - July 2009

Developed an ef cient routing simulation tool for the BGP protocol. Designed a personalized

monitor node placement algorithm for maximal coverage of IP pre x hijacking attacks with Mixed

Integer Linear Programming.

Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Software

Research Assistant May 2005 - June 2007

Designed and implemented kernel modules that enable system call tracing, secure le deletion

and audit log backup for a FreeBSD-based secure operating system.
