Steve Schlosser is a research scientist at Intel Research Pittsburgh,
whose research is focused on increasing the performance and
manageability of modern data storage systems. Most recently, Steve
has been involved in the Data-Intensive Supercomputing (DISC) project;
an effort to develop new techniques for building, programming,
managing, and using large-scale computing clusters, making them more
widely available to a range of scientific disciplines. Steve is also
involved in a project to improve storage management for the digital
home.

Steve joined Intel Research Pittsburgh in July of 2004, after
graduating from Carnegie Mellon University. As a graduate student, he
worked in the Parallel Data Laboratory with his advisor, Greg
Ganger. While at Carnegie Mellon, Steve worked on the Fates Database
Storage project, the goal of which wass to improve storage performance
for workloads that access multidimensional datasets. His dissertation
work was on the impact of alternative storage device technologies on
computer systems, specifically those based on MEMS.
