Emine Ugur Kaynar
I have just receieved my Ph.D. (May 2022) from the Department of Computer Science at Boston University. I am working with Prof. Orran Krieger, Prof. Larry Rudolph and Prof. Peter Desnoyers.
I’m a member of the Systems Research Group, and associated with Mass Open Cloud and Red Hat Research.
Interests:Cloud Computing, Large Scale Distributed Systems, Cloud Storage Systems, Performance Evaluation
Skills: Ceph, OpenStack, Alluxio, Hadoop, Spark, C++, Bash, Python
I am passionate about building large distributed systems and contributing to open source projects. My research focuses on building efficient and flexible systems for the growing data demands of modern high-end applications running on existing as well as emerging cloud computing platforms. I worked on the design/development of scalable cloud-based platforms and improving the performance and efficiency of distributed frameworks.

D3N Data Cache For Ceph Object Storage, Merged into Ceph by Red Hat, 2021.
[Ceph Documentation]
Selected Research Projects
- D4N (Directory Based D3N)
is a directory-based cooperative cache that provides a distributed directory for a global state, re-uses the existing data lake (Ceph) software for implementing a write tier and exploits the semantics of immutable objects to move aged objects to the shared data lake.
We are still in the process of upstreaming the D4N and convincing the Ceph upstream community.

- D3N (Datacenter-scale Data Delivery Network)
is a multi layer cooperative caching extension to storage system itself as a solution to network constrained data centers.
D3N enables data sharing across analytic clusters (e.g., Spark) in a data center, and dynamically adapts to changes in access patterns.

- Elastic Secure Infrastructure (ESI):
Involved ESI project which explores how to build a secure bare-metal elastic infrastructure for data centers and efficiently multiplexing bare-metal servers between different tenants. Bare-Metal Imaging (BMI) prototype we developed is a generic bare-metal provisioning solution for rapid deployment of bare-metal nodes on demand, and brings attractive image management capabilities (e.g., fast snapshotting, cloning, rapid provisioning etc.) of virtualized solutions to bare-metal systems.
