"There's an old proverb that says just about whatever you want it to."
-- Old Proverb

I am a Graduate Student working towards my PhD degree in Computer Science. I received my B.Sc in Computer Science from the American University in Cairo in 2002, and my M.Sc from UCSB working at the Race Lab with Chandra Krintz in 2008

My current interests include performance modeling and projection for Virtualized workloads. My current advisor is Tim Sherwood.

I previously worked on developing efficient profiling systems.
