Dimitrios Skarlatos is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. His research bridges computer architecture and operating systems with a focus on performance, security, and scalability. His work revolves around two central themes: (1) redesigning abstractions and interfaces between hardware and OS layers to improve performance and scalability, and (2) uncovering security vulnerabilities and building defenses at the hardware-OS boundary. Research Focus: Operating system security and vulnerability prevention Virtual memory systems and page table optimizations Serverless computing architectures Hardware-software co-design for security Datacenter resource management Dr. Skarlatos advises five PhD students and has published extensively on systems research. He received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where his dissertation received the ACM SIGARCH & IEEE CS TCCA Outstanding Dissertation Award for contributions to redesigning hardware-OS abstractions.
