RESEARCH INTERESTS
The major focus of my research is primarily built on the issues associated
with designing and implementing distributed systems - with specific interest
in how to make such systems transparent, easy to use, high performing and
secure for various applications. Originally focusing on operating system
architecture and services to support such goals, my research interest have
extended to include: architectural and virtualisation support for emerging IoT
systems in the form of frameworks; virtual world security & malware detection;
cloud computing support for high performance applications; and game design
issues.
