Brief Intro:

Niraj Tolia I am a Senior Researcher in the Exascale Computing Lab at HP Labs, Palo Alto and am currently working on the Exascale Data Center project. My primary research interests lie in distributed systems, virtualization, storage systems, and networking. I am currently working on projects that relate to architectures for "big data" applications and on unified data center power and cooling management.

I received my Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2007 and 2003 respectively. I also received my B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a double major in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in 2002.
