Lecturers

Jon Crowcroft Jon Crowcroft has been the Marconi Professor of Communications Systems in the Computer Laboratory since October 2001. He worked on Internet support for multimedia communications for two decades. Three main topics of interest have been scalable multicast routing, practical approaches to traffic management, and the design of useful end-to-end protocols. Nowadays, he works on mobile, opportunistic, social, low energy, privacy preserving systems.	(7)63633 | FN13
Richard Gibbens Richard Gibbens is a University Senior Lecturer. His research interests are in the modelling of computer and communication systems. He lectures courses on Continuous Mathematics and Computer Systems Modelling as well as supervising a broad range of courses in mathematics and computer science.	(3)35399 | FE05
David Greaves David Greaves is a Senior University Lecturer undertaking research in system specification with emphasis on interconnection, networking and component assembly. He has worked on tools for hardware RTL synthesis using model checkers and automated provers and is now applying these techniques to more general software systems.	(3)34636 | FN12
Tim Griffin Timothy Griffin has been a University Lecturer in the Computer Laboratory since January 2005. Previously Tim had been a researcher with Intel Research, AT&T Research, and Bell Laboratories. Tim's research is currently focused on applying rigorous modelling and analysis methods to problems of network design and network protocol design, especially Internet routing protocols.

Steven Hand Steven Hand is the University of Cambridge Reader in Computer Systems, and a Fellow of Wolfson College. He is probably best known for his work in the area of operating systems (Nemesis, Xen), but is also interested in networking, security, concurrency, programming languages and computer architecture.	(3)34628 | FN04
Ian Leslie Ian Leslie is a Professor in the Computer Laboratory and was Head of Department from 1999 until 2004. His main interests are in operating systems and networks. His PhD, obtained in the Laboratory in 1983, was concerned with high capacity wide area networks. His approach to his research is experimental, and he has been involved in many collaborations which have built real systems, the most recent of which are the Nemesis operating system and the Tempest networking environment.	(3)34658 | FN16
Cecilia Mascolo Cecilia Mascolo is a Reader in Mobile Systems and a Fellow of Jesus College. Her research interests are in the areas of mobility modelling, ubiquitous computing, mobile sensing and social network analysis.	(7)63640 | FN08
Derek McAuley Derek McAuley is an Affiliated Lecturer at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. His research interests include networking, distributed systems and operating systems. He is a Fellow of the British Computer Society and member of the UKCRC, a computing research expert panel of the IEE and BCS.	(3)34658 | FN16
Andrew Moore In 2007, Andrew moved back to the Computer Laboratory. Interests have remained focused for the last 20 years on mechanism and applications of network monitoring. In recent years network traffic identification, specifically application identification, has been a primary interest. Recently networking interests have tended to applying novel techniques, mostly drawn from the machine-learning community, and applying these to problems in the network-traffic domain. Andrew also has a keen interest in small-system optical networks (optical networks on the 100, 10, 1 meter scale, e.g., optical PCI buses.	(7)63446 | FW16
