Brief Description of Research Agenda:

 

With the increasing dependency of cloud-based services, the data centers (DC) have been a popular platform to satisfy customers’ requests. These days, various companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook routinely use DCs for storage, web services, and large-scale computations. In consequence, the size and number of DCs are increasing day by day. Modern DCs are constructed with hundreds of thousands of servers which are interconnected with routers, switches, and high-speed links. As most of the equipment in DC are temperature sensitive, air and water cooler are necessary to keep the temperature within a certain limit. Moreover, operating the servers, routers, and switches requires a large amount of power. Hence, maintaining the DC involves a large utilization of energy, which is one of the major sources of cost for the DC designers. Furthermore, the huge amount of energy consumption massively produces carbon emission. 

My primary research interest is Cost Optimization and Load Balancing of Intra and Inter-Data Center Networks to Facilitate Cloud Services. I am also interested in Software-Defined Network, Network Performance Measurement, and Neural Network.
