Ming Zhao

My research interests include distributed computing, virtualization, high-performance systems, autonomic computing, cyberinfrastructure, and operating systems. I am also interested in the interdisciplinary studies that bridge computer systems research with other domains such as computational sciences, medicine, and business.

Today's large distributed applications require tremendous amounts of data and resources, supported by computer systems with increasing scale, complexity, and dynamism. It is often difficult to make effective use of resources and execute applications with desired quality-of-service in such environments. My goal is to explore novel data and resource management solutions, through innovating virtualization, grid, and autonomic techniques, to provide high-performance, robust, and secure computing.
