My research focuses on dynamic content requests as meeting their computation and I/O requirements can be a challenge. The techniques I have developed include: ~- Hierarchical server architecture to isolate processing of dynamic and static content requests and for recruiting idle resources. ~- Server side caching and precomputing of dynamic content to reduce response time and to optimize resource allocation and capacity planning. ~- Content caching and dynamic transcoding by proxy servers to minimize perceived Internet delay by users with low bandwidth connections and to adapt to capabilities of users devices. In addition, I have worked on design of cache-efficient algorithms for trie-search and on approximation algorithms for the Set Partition problem for handling user profiles in the context of online information broadcast.
