Interests

According to her Brandeis bio page, Shrira is interested in the design and evaluation of system architectures that provide consistency and reliability without compromising on performance. For example, how to provide high-performance reliable storage in the presence of malicious attacks, how can a scalable Internet storage system support consistent sharing for mobile collaborators, how to make long-lived consistent past states available to an application without performance penalty, how to upgrade without down-time a storage system as it evolves over time.
Aside from technology and research she enjoys outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, and exploring caves.
