Mark Gritter

Education

10/1997--present

Stanford University, Stanford, California.

Ph.D. in Computer Science, expected June 2003.

Dissertation: ``Content Location with Name-Based Routing.'' This work lays out a system for performing naming and locating replicated content using a dynamic routing protocol. Research into this design consists of measurements on a prototype implementation and large-scale simulation, demonstrating the scalability of the approach. Advisor: David R. Cheriton.

M.S. in Computer Science, September 2000. Qualifying exam areas were Operating Systems, Networking/Distributed Systems, and Programming Languages.

9/1993-6/1997

Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota.

B.A. magna cum laude in Computer Science and Mathematics (double major), awarded June 1997.
