Bio
Volkmar Uhlig joined IBM T.J. Watson Research Center as a
research staff member in 2005. He was member of Project Kittyhawk
which investigates the feasibility of a global-scale computer system capable of hosting the Internet. As part of this
project he was leading the systems work applying Blue Gene's supercomputer capabilities to real-time stream-based data analysis
for the financial industry (IBM press release,
Forbes). He had a strategic role in IBM's significant push into cloud computing.
Prior to IBM, Mr. Uhlig worked on system and device virtualization. He held an R&D position at University of Karlsruhe. In
Karlsruhe he was one of the prime architects of the L4Ka::Pistachio
microkernel; the commercialized version of Pistachio by Open Kernel Labs runs on more than 500 million cell phones.
His research included multiprocessor scalability, virtualization, and
multi-server systems. As part of his graduate program he worked at Intel Research and IBM Watson Research.
Mr. Uhlig holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Karlsruhe
and a M.Sc. from Dresden
University.
