Teaching

Textbook: Distributed Computing: Fundamentals, Simulations and Advanced Topics, Second Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 2004, by Hagit Attiya and Jennifer Welch.

Research

I am interested in distributed computing systems, especially loosely-coupled, heterogeneous and failure-prone ones. My research approach encompasses formal models, algorithm design and analysis, and lower bounds and impossibility proofs.

You can find a list of my publications on my DBLP page.

My CV: in PDF.

Service

I am the PODC representative to the Advisory Board of a new journal, TheoretiCS.

I was the chair of the steering committee for the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) from 2018 to 2021.

I was an associate editor for the journal Distributed Computing from 2009 to 2022.

I was the editor of the ACM SIGACT News Distributed Computing Column from 2013 to 2019. Here is an archive.
