Armando Fox Research Associate, RAD Lab (Computer Science Division, EECS Dept.) 465 Soda Hall

Thanks for visiting.  I am a full-time researcher in the UC Berkeley  RADLab.

I am also interested in the history of computing and technology, and technology and society.  I have volunteered for and still frequent the Computer Museum(now in Mountain View) and sometimes teach a freshman seminar on technology and society.

Research: Information and publications about...

• The RAD Lab (Reliable Adaptive Distributed Systems): datacenter-scale computing meets machine learning
• Recovery-Oriented Computing including service composition work
• Ubiquitous computing: The iRoom and Interactive Workspaces
• My previous research on transformational proxies and cluster-based Internet services

Current Students

• Peter Bodik (PhD, Berkeley)
• James Zhang (MS, Berkeley)
  
• I co-advise several Berkeley students in connection with the RAD Lab.
