About me


I am currently a Ph.D student in the Department of Computer Science at University of Massachusetts Boston and a research member of Network Information System Laboratory under the supervision of professor Duc Tran. I received a BS degree in Computer Science from Bauman Moscow State Technical University in Russia in 2007.

My research interests are computer networks and distributed systems, in particular publish/subcribe search, data management, distributed storage, network file systems, target localization and tracking in peer-2-peer, wireless sensor networks, and social media.

I am working on my dissertation with special focus on search, storage, and localization in sensor based surveillance networks.
