Simon Schubert Doctoral Program in Computer & Communication Sciences Dipl.-Ing. office(s): BC124 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 36668 MISSION Most work in storage has mostly been concentrating on the needs of server systems or storage in data centers. To contrast this, I am researching the storage stack specifically for desktop and laptop computers. Here I am interested in the integration of solid state disks into the storage stack and I am developping means to help the operating system to access storage media more efficiently. As a side project, I am working on the design of a new systems programming language which will allow the programmer to implement crucial parts like garbage collection and control of parallelism in the language itself and bind it with the compiler to be automatically used. BIOGRAPHY I received a Dipl.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2006 from the Technische Universität München (TUM), Germany. Since the academic year 2007/2008 I am a PhD student in the Operating Systems Laboratory (LABOS) at EPFL.
