Carlee Joe-Wong
Robert E. Doherty Career Development Associate Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering
Carlee Joe-Wong is an associate professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley. She is broadly interested in the optimization of networked systems, with a focus on the role of incentives and user behavior in this optimization. This includes work on smart data pricing, fair resource allocation, and distributed network architectures. She is particularly interested in applying theoretical insights to practical system deployments, and mathematical and economic aspects of computer and information networks.
She received her Ph.D. from Princeton University’s program in Applied and Computational Mathematics (2016). She is primarily interested in incentives and resource allocation for computer and information networks, including work on smart data pricing and fair resource allocation. From 2013-2014, Joe-Wong was the director of Advanced Research at DataMi, a startup she co-founded based on her data pricing research. DataMi's products have been deployed by Internet service providers around the world, including AT&T in the U.S., Airtel in India, and Orange in Europe. She received the INFORMS ISS Design Science Award in 2014, the Best Paper Award at IEEE INFOCOM 2012, and was a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate fellow (NDSEG) from 2011-2013. At CMU, she leads the LIONS research group (Learning, Incentives, and Optimization in Networked Systems).

Joe-Wong develops framework to optimize burstable instances
ECE/CMU-SV’s Carlee Joe-Wong helped develop a theoretical framework that allows cloud providers to price burstable instances for maximum revenue. This will also result in cheaper and more efficient payments for users. Joe-Wong and her collaborators wrote a paper on the topic, which was presented at INFOCOM 2019.

Pricing and processing data far from the Cloud: Carlee Joe-Wong on the economics of the IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT), mobile networks, and edge devices have become integral to daily life. Plenty of devices have enough computing power to process large amounts of data far from a centralized entity like the cloud. Computing this way offers faster networks and smart buildings.
