This year, @ACMSoCC had a record high submitted and accepted paper count. Great job to PC chairs, @NeerajaJY and Peter Alvaro, and the entire PC for the hard work.
SoCC'24 is underway, with our PC Chairs (@NeerajaJY and Peter Alvaro) kicking things off! We are so excited to learn from all our speakers and authors this week!
I am on the academic job market for tenure-track faculty positions. I am a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗔𝗜. Below, I briefly overview my research work.

"...academic research is an investment by society to study impractical problems today that might become new industries in the future." Well said!
Academic researchers need to fully embrace the freedom to explore deeper, more controversial ideas. This reminds me of how the DBOS project began: we aimed to "replace Linux with a database". Our crazy ideas got us a dozen paper rejections, but the DBOS paper won a "Best of VLDB 2022" after two years (invited VLDBJ paper to appear).
When we started the company around it, we decided to focus on the most interesting result from our research -- a serverless platform for reliable backends. The lessons we learned from our academic research remain valuable and continue to guide us.
New SIGMOD blog post: "Where does database research go from here?" where I examine the academic database research community from the lens of market competition and ask " what is our competitive advantage?"

Now that things have settled, I can share more. This system (Caribou) pushes the boundaries of geospatial shifting for cloud systems for greenhouse gas reduction. 💚🌎

Do you know what your #digital wallet is up to? According to @umassengin researchers, you might not! They found critical #security loopholes that could threaten the safety of your #creditcard. How do we deal with this? More info: umass.edu/news/article/new-s…
