Vassilios Lekakis (lex@cs) Graduate Student, University of Maryland, Computer Science Advisor: Pete Keleher Curriculum Vitae

About Me

I am a graduate student in the Computer Sciense department at the University of Maryland. My interests are in the areas of distributed systems, filesystems and networks. In my current project I study how access control affects replication and consistency in weakly connected storage systems.
