Erika Hunhoff
Computer Science PhD Candidate @ CU Boulder | Co-op @ AMD RAD | Former Google PhD Fellow | Former Intern @ VMware Research
I am a sixth year PhD candidate in the computer science department at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I am advised by Dr. Eric Keller (and formerly advised by Dr. Eric Rozner). I am broadly interested in operating systems, networking, and scalable systems research.
In my time at CU Boulder, I’ve mainly focused on resource management and networking for containerized cloud workloads, including serverless. I am also working with Gerd Zellweger (formerly of VMware Research) on a distributed operating systems project. I am currently a co-op with AMD RAD (Research And Development). Previously, I was generously supported by a 2021 Google PhD Fellowship. I anticipate graduation in 2025.
I received my BS in Computer Science and BS in Mathematics from George Fox University (Newberg, OR) in May 2015. After graduation, I worked in public industry for several years before returning to academia.
