I am a research affiliate with the PDOS group at MIT CSAIL, where I was previously a postdoc. I'm interested in distributed systems, especially for datacenters; operating systems; and systems security.

Before joining MIT, I spent several enjoyable years doing my PhD in the NetOS group at the Computer Laboratory in the other Cambridge.

You can find me on Twitter and GitHub. My wife, Julia Netter, is a political philosopher.

As of Fall 2019, I have joined Brown University as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science!

Please also see my new Brown website.

Research

My work focuses on building easy-to-use and high-performance distributed systems around new abstractions.

Recent projects include Noria, a new streaming dataflow system, and Conclave, a query compiler for secure multi-party computation. I've also built several cluster schedulers (Omega, Firmament, and Decima).
