About Me:
My name is Bill Marczak, and I am a computer science Ph.D student at UC Berkeley.
My research interests include security, networking, distributed systems, and databases.
Additionally, I maintain strong interests in US constitutional law and international travel.
I'm currently working with Joe Hellerstein on the Lincoln
project.
I'm also collaborating with Boon Thau Loo and the NetDB group at the University of Pennsylvania on the
DS2 and A3 projects. Additionally, I collaborate with LogicBlox.
As you can see, I have installed the canonical HTML-1.0-compliant[1] personal web presence, complete with all the
familiar headings, and have thus joined the computer science academic community.
