PhD Student
Australian Technology Park Laboratory

I am a Graduate Researcher at the School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. I am also member of NICTA’s Software Systems research group and work under Business Adaptation and Interoperation research project . My research work is currently focused on:

• Elasticity and economics of web application's architecture on public cloud infrastructure
• Run-time monitoring and elasticity of web applications on public cloud infrastructure

Previously I've worked on:

• Business-Driven Decision-Making Solutions for Dynamic Adaptation of Web Service Composition
• Modeling and engineering of web service policies into design and run-time models of web service compositions.

I am also a part-time tutor for Web Application Engineering at CSE-UNSW.
