Patrick P. C. Lee received the B.Eng. degree (first-class honors) in Information Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2001, the M.Phil. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2003, and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Columbia University in 2008. He was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2008-2009. He is now a Professor of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He currently heads the Applied Distributed Systems Lab and is working very closely with a group of graduate students on different systems projects. He was a collaborator with Alcatel-Lucent in developing network management solutions for 3G wireless networks in 2007-2011. His research interests are in various applied/systems topics on storage systems and computer networks, with dependability in mind.

Research interests (Publications)

My general research interests are in various applied/systems topics on improving the dependability of storage systems and computer networks. By dependability, I refer to the fault tolerance, recovery, security, and performance guarantees that need to be achieved in order to maintain the correctness and performance of regular operations. My research approach emphasizes system design and implementation, backed by extensive empirical experiments and possibly theoretical analysis. My research directions are summarized here.
