Brian F. Cooper is a senior research scientist at Yahoo! Research. His research interests include
distributed information systems and databases. Currently, I am working on building very large scale, distributed information systems. Previously, he was an assistant professor at Georgia Tech, where he worked on self-managing peer-to-peer overlays and distributed in-network event processing.
His
PhD dissertation examined adaptive overlays for replicating data, and
for searching for the replicated data once it had been scattered
throughout a network.
Brian received his PhD in 2003 from Stanford University, where he
worked in the database group, the digital library project, and the
peer-to-peer group. His dissertation advisor was Hector
Garcia-Molina. Brian also received his MS from Stanford in
2000, and his BS in computer science and BA in Chemistry from the
University of Colorado.
