My current main projects are RISELab and
Buildings-Energy-Transportation Systems.
RISELab is applying real-time learning to complex control problems in real-world systems.
My students and I are investigating new ways, based on machine learning, to manage resources
(processors, memory, network bandwidth, storage bandwidth) in complex distributed systems environments
as well as local tier processing techniques for intelligent applications within the built environment.
BETS is an evolution of our work in Smart Grids and Smart Cities to transportation and the ways in which
information flows unify these different domains in the built environment.
We are working on new methods for tracking user mobility, and using this information to gain better insights
into the human activity taking place in the urban environment.
Note: I no longer have a telephone handset at my workspace, and can only respond to voice mail. Sending email
is a much more reliable way to reach me than the telephone.
Research Interests:
Information-enabled Built Environment (aka "Smart Buildings"),
Information-enabled Energy Infrastructure (aka "Smart Grid"),
Improving the Speed and Energy Performance of Large-scale Data Intensive Applications,
Architecture and Design of Internet Datacenters.
