Adam Morrison I'm a graduate student in the Multicore Computing group at Tel Aviv University's School of Computer Science, working with Yehuda Afek. I'm supported by an IBM PhD Fellowship. Email: adamx@tau.ac.il

I'm interested in the theory and practice of distributed computing, and in hopefully bridging between the two.

Recently I've been working on making software more efficient on chip multiprocessors.

Before that, I did work in the theory of wait-free computation on shared memory systems for my MSc.

Other topics I'm interested in but haven't yet contributed to are cloud computing, datacenter networks and networking in general, as well as systems security and virtualization.

Several years ago I built an anecdotal salary survey for high-tech related professionals in Israel. Since it's still getting hits I don't take it down, but I stopped working on it.
