معرفی
Roles and Affiliations: Mor Harchol-Balter is the Bruce J. Nelson Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, leading the Department's PhD program (2008-2011). She holds ACM and IEEE Fellowships, and her work focuses on performance analysis and design of distributed systems, scheduling policies, and queueing theory. Her research challenges conventional system design assumptions, emphasizing mathematical rigor and practical implementation.
Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley (1996), joined CMU in 1999. Extensive teaching history includes courses like Performance Modeling and Probability and Computing.
Research Interests: Performance analysis of computer systems, stochastic modeling, scheduling algorithms (e.g., SRPT, Whittle Index), load balancing, and distributed systems design. She explores high-variability workloads, cache throughput optimization, and redundancy in systems. Key contributions include queueing theory innovations like RDR, RRR, and CAP techniques.
Grants and Collaborations: Active in NSF-funded projects on scheduling, cloud computing, and cache networks. Her work bridges theory and practice, with implementations like SyNC and AutoScale adopted by industry.
Labs and Teams: Leads the SQUALL research group (Scheduling and QUeueing Around Lunchtime) and collaborates with industry (e.g., Facebook's AutoScale adoption). Her research has produced influential textbooks on performance modeling and probability for computing.
