Biography

Steve joined Intel Research Pittsburgh in July of 2004, after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University. As a graduate student, Steve worked for the Parallel Data Laboratory, where his advisor was Greg Ganger. While at Carnegie Mellon, Steve worked on the Fates Database Storage project, the goal of which is to improve storage performance for workloads that access multidimensional datasets. Steve's dissertation work was on the impact of alternative storage device technologies on computer systems, specifically those based on MEMS. Steve's undergraduate studies were also at Carnegie Mellon, so he's been in Pittsburgh for quite some time, now. He is originally from sunny Columbus, Ohio.

Research

Steve has broad interests in computer systems including storage systems, cluster computing, databases, operating systems, and mobile computing. Currently his research is focused around building adaptive data processing and storage infrastructure for the Everyday Sensing and Perception (ESP) project, an interdisciplinary effort to dramatically improve the ability of computers to perceive and infer users' context. Steve is also involved in developing Tashi, a cluster management system for cloud computing on big data, and Hi-Spade, an effort to tailor algorithm performance to memory hierarchies, including FLASH. Lastly, Steve collaborates with members of the Parallel Data Lab on improving manageability of home storage.
