    Research

    I have broad interest in computer systems, with most of my focus on operating systems, file systems, and cloud computing.  I am just starting up the Center For Cloud Innovation in the Hariri Institute at BU.  A big chunk of my time is  in creating a new, open, model of a public cloud in the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC).  I am also working with Jonathan Appavoo and team on a new operating system for cloud computing and HPC called EbbRT which is part of the SESA project.

    Short Bio

    Before coming to BU, I spent five years at VMware starting and working on vCloud.  Prior to that I was a researcher and manager at IBM T. J. Watson, leading the Advanced Operating System Research Department. I did my PhD and MASc in Electrical Engineering at the University of Toronto.

    Publications:

    It looks like my Google Scholar Profile has a much better list of papers, … than I can put together.  Key projects are the rhype hypervisor, the k42, Hurricane and Tornado operating system, vCloud, Libra.
