Jeffrey S. Chase is a Professor of Computer Science at Duke University in the Department of Computer Science within Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. He has held this position since 2006 and currently serves as Director of Graduate Studies. His academic career spans decades with significant contributions to distributed systems research.
Chase's research focuses on operating systems and distributed systems, with particular emphasis on cloud infrastructure services, trust management and security in cloud environments, energy-aware computing, and network storage. His work has evolved to center on integrity and trust: where it comes from, how we represent it, how we reason about it in software, and how we build software systems worthy of trust. His research group has developed notable systems including ExoGENI, Silver, and ADAMANT.
His recent publications demonstrate his continued focus on secure data sharing architectures, networking for multi-tenant data centers, and federated authorization systems. These works collectively address fundamental challenges in distributed computing related to security, privacy, and network performance in cloud environments.
Chase has received significant research funding including the CC*Data: ImPACT project (2017-2022), Collaborative Research: CICI: Secure and Resilient Architecture (2016-2020), and TWC: Frontier: Collaborative: Rethinking Security in the Era of Cloud Computing (2013-2019).
He has taught advanced courses including CPS 512: Advanced Distributed Systems, CPS 310: Operating Systems, and CPS 510: Advanced Operating Systems. His teaching philosophy emphasizes deep understanding of core distributed systems concepts with practical applications to modern cloud infrastructure.
