Anil Madhavapeddy
I'm a Horizon Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. I've worked in a variety of senior architecture, engineering, product management, sales and "whatever it takes" roles in industry (S, M, L, XL) as well as government and research (S, M, L). I completed my PhD in 2006 at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory in the Systems Research Group. You can read my thesis and various academic publications here.
My research goal is to improve the security, reliability and performance of the Internet. I'm having great fun building the Mirage cloud operating system as a new foundation for constructing networked, multi-scale applications. I also think about ubiquitous computing technologies, and develop open-source software such as the secure OpenBSD operating system. I'm on the boards of some exciting start-ups, such as Ashima Arts in sunny Pasadena, and Limbe Labs in the even sunnier Cameroon.
I'm online at Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, github. My old Citrix/Xen blog is still available for now. I'm migrating most of my open-source projects over to github at the moment. I occasionally do consulting work, primarily on the commercial uses of functional programming. I'm a Senior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, the most diverse of the Cambridge Colleges.
