Introduction

I am PhD student at the KTH - Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden and the Swedish Insitute of Computer Science (SICS) under the supervision of Ali Ghodsi and Seif Haridi. I also did my Masters from KTH specializing in Software Engineering of Distributed Systems. I completed my Bachelor of Science degree from GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, with a major in Computer Systems Engineering.

I am interested in distributed systems, distributed algorithms, peer-to-peer systems, and recently, cloud computing. Currently, I am focusing on building large-scale distributed data storage systems.
