Research Experience
Worked on web-based collaboration systems at a startup in North Carolina for three years before joining Sprint's Advanced Technology Lab in Burlingame, California in 1998, working on cloud computing and network monitoring. Spent time as an Industrial Fellow at the UC Berkeley CS department, working with the OceanStore project. Joined Intel Research at Berkeley in April 2002 as a principal architect of PlanetLab.
Education
Received his PhD in 1995 from the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, where he was a principal designer and builder of the Nemesis OS.
Background
Research areas: operating systems, distributed systems, and networking. Main research interests: building and using a research computer called Enzian for experimentation with hardware/software co-design; formally specifying the interface between real hardware and system software, and using these specifications in the design of operating systems for future machines that scale to thousands of cores.
