I am a member of the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University in the
position of Systems Scientist in the Parallel Data Lab (PDL). I
joined the PDL in December, 2003. The general focus of my research
is on building new systems that are both novel and have a potential
positive impact on the world. My role in the PDL is to help
architect, prototype, and deploy large scale storage systems that
are based on PDL research. I also play a key role in defining the
architecture of the PDL lab computing environment, including the
new data center we have built in the CIC building. I am currently
working with Garth Gibson
on storage systems for both High Performance Computing (HPC) and
Cloud-based platforms. Prior to joining the PDL, I was at AT&T Labs-Research for five years. At AT&T I worked on research projects relating to network monitoring, network content distribution, packet telephony, and "system on a chip" embedded devices. I have a doctorate in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis. As part of my graduate research I wrote the UVM Virtual Memory system. UVM is in worldwide use as part of the kernel of the NetBSD and OpenBSD open-source operating systems projects.
