| 2008 – 2013 |
PhD in Computer Science
Advisor: Alexandra (Sasha) Fedorova Simon Fraser University — Vancouver, Canada Thesis: Addressing shared resource contention in datacenter servers Selected for the Dissertation showcase at SuperComputing 2013. Thesis summary: Servers are major energy consumers in datacenters. Much of that energy is wasted because programs compete for shared resources and suffer severe performance penalties due to resource contention. My Thesis addresses the contention problem. GPA: 4.05 (out of 4.33) | |
| 2002 – 2008 |
BSc and MSc with Honors in Computer Engineering
Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (State University) — Moscow, Russia GPA: 5.00 (out of 5.00) | |
