Welcome! I am Johnny, from Hong Kong. I finished my BEng in Computer Engineering and Master of Philosophy (in Computer Science) in The University of Hong Kong in 1999 and 2002, respectively. My masters dissertation is on online scheduling algorithms, under Pror. Tak-Wah Lam. In Fall 2001, I joined the Department of Computer Science in Rice University. To broaden my horizon, I research on a completely different direction, focusing on the security and incentives issues in peer-to-peer systems. My advisor is Prof. Dan Wallach, head of the Computer Security Lab. Since then, I have received a Master of Science in 2004, and I have already finished writing my dissertation. I am currently working at Symantec Research Labs, the research organization in Symantec.
My resume.
Distributed (peer-to-peer) computing
