• Introduced a new generalized approach to the customization of web content and streams for wireless clients that takes advantage of a simplified form of mobile code in order to improve performance, reliability, and security.
• Developed a Web middleware architecture that uses intermediaries called Customizers to support flexible, adaptive customization, yet by using existing Web mechanisms and focusing on HTTP only, it remains deployable and avoids the complexity of more general customization systems.
• Experimented with a number of applications such as stream buffering, traffic regulation, filtering, and storing data for remote access, demonstrating the benefits of the system.

    Prior Research
   Before starting my research with Dr. Pasquale I worked with Professor Walt Burkhard on hard disk data layouts, and that was the topic of my Master's project. I Improved performance of Permutation Data Development Layout (PDDL), a new RAID-like data layout that incorporates efficient sparing for higher performance under failure, by designing and implementing a parity stripe reordering scheme. I evaluated the performance using RAIDframe simulations.

    College Studies And Undergraduate Research
    I received my M.S. in Computer Science, here at UCSD in the Spring term of 1999. I previously received my B.S. in both Computer Science (summa cum laude) and Mathematics from the University of Massachusetts in February 1997.
