Biography

Paruj Ratanaworabhan is a Ph.D. student in the Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL), Cornell University. He received an M.Eng. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell in 2002 and joined the CSL as a Ph.D. student in the fall of 2003. He is advised by Martin Burtscher and is currently a visiting student at the Center for Distributed and Grid Computing, the University of Texas at Austin. His research interests are in race detection and toleration systems, phase-aware architectures, floating-point data compression, and compiler optimization. In the summer of 2008, he was an intern with Microsoft Research Redmond where he worked on the Nozzle project, which aims to prevent heap spraying attacks on web browsers.

 

Before coming to the US for graduate study, he was an undergraduate student at Kasetsart University and an instrument engineer with Black & Veatch, designing and commissioning control and instrumentation systems in co-generation and coal-fired power plants.
