Lorenzo Alvisi

简介

Lorenzo Alvisi is the Tisch University Professor in Computer Science and chair of the Department of Computer Science. He is interested in the theory and practice of dependable distributed computing. His group's research aims to understand how to design and build trustworthy distributed systems. Their work investigates both foundational and applied aspects of reliable distributed computing – and at its best – leverages the former to shape the latter. Alvisi received his Laurea Summa cum Laude and Corso di Specializzazione in Physics from the University of Bologna, and his master's degree and Ph.D. in computer science from Cornell University. He is an IEEE Fellow, an ACM Fellow, a Humboldt Research Award winner, and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow.
