Willem de Bruijn | Overview

I am a postdoc in computer systems with a research interest in operating system design, specifically in networking and I/O, memory management and most recently computer system security. I've dabbled in related fields, such as network security and distributed systems.

Research

In the academic year '09/'10 I am helping out building the Nexus OS, an operating system that we can trust. Please visit the project page for more information.

My PhD research centered on Streamline: an OS communication subsystem that maximizes I/O throughput by (1) constructing composite application pipelines for each application on demand at runtime from device, kernel and userspace components and by (2) tailoring component selection to the application's requirements and available resources. I actively maintain an implementation of Streamline for Linux 2.6. Visit the project website for more information.
