Cristiana Amza received the B.S. degree in Computer Engineering
from Bucharest Polytechnic Institute in 1991, the M.S. and the
Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Rice University in 1997 and
2003 respectively. Her research interests are in the design,
implementation and evaluation of distributed systems.
Her current work focuses on scaling and consistency issues in
web server technologies and distributed databases.
Her current research project, Chorus on the Cloud
studies infrastructure design for Cloud environments
that can automatically adapt to a changing environment and
workload through self-managing, self-tuning and self-healing.
The project goal is to provide ease of use, scalability, high
availability and differentiated quality-of-service for a range of dynamic
content services such as e-commerce, on-line bidding, neuroscience modeling
and massively
multiplayer games.
In the past, she has worked on algorithms for data replication in
persistent memory clusters, and reducing the overhead of consistency maintenance for Software Distributed Shared Memory systems.
