Alexander Fuerst
Who am I?
I am a recently graduated Computer Engineering PhD from Indiana University, with interests across the whole computing system stack. Outside of that, I hike, go biking, bake everything imaginable, and read books on history.
My CV, Github profile, and Google Scholar.
Research Interests
My current research focuses are in various segments of systems research, especially Serverless, Cloud, and Virtualization. I intend on creating and working on such systems in industry now that I have graduated, and am actively open to new positions.
