Work/Research

I am currently a researcher at NICTA (National ICT Australia). See my homepage there.

An electronic copy of my PhD dissertation as well as information about my defense and party are available here.

I have finished my Phd at the Computer Science department of the T.U Delft where I worked on a wide-area distributed web service as part of the JERA project. This included working in the Globe project as well as on ASCI's DAS distributed computer. The work was done jointly with the Computer Science department at the V.U. in Amsterdam, so I spent about half of my time in Delft and half in Amsterdam. My supervisor in Delft was Henk Sips and in Amsterdam Maarten van Steen.

I have completed my PhD thesis entitled An Approach to A Scalable Wide-Area Web Service and will be defending it in December 2003. The thesis is about the design and implementation of GlobeDoc.

Previously, I also worked, as a scientific programmer, on the CP2PC project.
