Intro
I am an
assistant professor of computer science at Gonzaga University. I received my undergraduate degree from
Duke University. I received my Master's degree in computer science from University of New Mexico with an emphasis in
artificial intelligence and agent-based systems and later returned for my Ph.D.
with the Scalable Systems Lab
in 2005. I worked in industry for
a few years as well at Intel Corporation and
Omneon Video Networks.
I
consider myself a systems researcher.
Particularly, I work to effectively manage and optimize localized
behavior in resource-constrained systems. I have worked with collaborators at
Washington State University, University of New Mexico, Argonne National
Laboratories, and various other companies and universities.
Research
My
current research involves using hardware-assist to reach 100Gb/s speeds for TCP
and UDP, exploring new congestion control mechanisms for mobile, P2P
multimedia, and creating a framework to dynamically remap applications on
sensor networks. Please see my research page for a
list of my current projects and students.
My not-quite-up-to-date CV gives publications and
details.

I live
a wonderfully happy and fun existence with my husband, Jason and my two boys,
JD and Leo. I like to paint and
