Biography

Robert Ricci received his  B.S. in Computer science from the University  of Utah in 2001, and his PhD in 2010. Prior to joining the faculty of  the School of Computing as a Research Assistant Professor, he was a  research staff member in the SoC for nine years. He is one of the  leaders of the Flux Research Group, which has approximately two dozen faculty, staff, and students. Dr. Ricci's research is in the area of  systems and networking, including testbeds for conducting experiments in those fields. He and the Flux Group have produced two testbeds, Emulab and ProtoGENI, that are heavily used by researchers and educators worldwide.
