معرفی
Sir Andy Hopper is a Professor and Head of the Digital Technology Group within the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. He is a Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. His research focuses on creating a world where everything is always connected in a personalized way and developing sentient computing systems that observe the real world to ensure planetary sustainability.
His research interests span ubiquitous computing, sentient computing, distributed systems, computer networking, green computing, and provenance systems. He has pioneered work in location-aware systems, energy-efficient computing, and provenance in distributed environments. His vision extends computing to automatically adapt to real-world conditions for sustainable solutions.
Recent publications indicate a strong focus on provenance systems, data reliability in cloud environments, and the integration of renewable energy in datacentre computing. His work often involves collaboration with researchers at the University of Cambridge and beyond, addressing challenges in virtualization, MapReduce, and resource accounting.
Professor Hopper leads the Digital Technology Group, which is part of the Computer Laboratory. The group conducts cutting-edge research in networking, systems, and sustainable computing, contributing to both theoretical advances and practical applications in the field.
