Postdoctoral Researcher

I have recently started as a postdoctoral researcher working with Mike Freedman. Currently my time is devoted to a project on wide area streaming data mangagement.

I recently finished my PhD at Berkeley, working in the AMP lab advised by Randy Katz. I graduated in May 2012. My dissertation is posted here.

I am also interested in the software engineering and administration challenges of big-data systems. I am particularly interested in applying program analysis techniques to tasks like log analysis and configuration debugging.

The best way to reach me is probably email to asrabkin at gmail.com
