The ETOS group builds and investigates core abstractions and techniques for improving the efficiency and trustworthiness of practical computer systems. We conduct research on operating systems, distributed systems, data privacy, web services, data center infrastructure, compilers, and security. ETOS builds practical, efficient, and easy-to-use working systems, and releases them as open-source software. We are part of the Systems Group at Brown CS.

Check out our publications for more about our current and past research. If you are interested in joining our group, see this page.
