About

I am a Distinguished Professor and Associate Dean in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at UMass Amherst. My research interests lie broadly in distributed systems and networking. I head the Laboratory for Advanced Systems Software here at UMass where we focus on building systems and understand them through modeling, analysis and experimentation. I direct the recently established Center for Smart and Connected Society (CS2) and previously directed the Center for Personalized Health Monitoring (CPHM), at UMass.

Service

I have become more selective in my external professional service due to my internal role as Associate Dean.

I recently served as the foundig Chair of the ACM Special Interest Group on Energy (SIGEnergy), a professional group that focuses on energy informatics and computational sustainability.

I am serving as the Co-chair of ACM SIGEnergy Workshop on Societal Decarbonization (SoDec'24). Previously, I have served as Program Chair or General Chair for sixteen conferences and workshops. Here is a list of conferences I have chaired.

I have served or am serving on the editorial boards of ACM Transactions on IOT (TIOT), ACM Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing Systems (TOMPECS), ACM Transactions on the Web (TWEB), Springer Multimedia Systems, Sustainable Energy, Grids and Networks, PeerJ Computer Science. I have previously served on the Steering Committee of ACM e-Energy, ACM BuildSys and IEEE Trans. on Mobile Computing.
