Anupam Chanda

I completed Ph.D. in Computer Science in May 2007 under the supervision of Dr. Alan L. Cox and Dr. Willy Zwaenepoel.
Earlier, I received M.S. in Computer Science from Rice University in May 2003, and B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in June 2000.

Research

My research interests are Operating Systems and Distributed Systems.
I am currently working on Causeway - a general purpose framework for distributed resource management, performance analysis, and security and access control. More information is available on the Causeway web page.
