Dave Andersen - Personal

What's new

• I started as an assistant professor at CMU in January 2005. (My application materials are still around for reference).
• Just up to the usual. Lots of running these days. I've been compiling a list of good running and training resources. Slacking on updating my website, sorry. Work is going pretty well.
• Pemi Loop 2003 trip report - insane winter hike with Robert Zeithammer.
• Yosemite 2000 trip report - aiding the West Face of Leaning Tower.
• Dave's Photo Gallery - a new collection of the pictures I've collected in one place.

About me

I'm an associate professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. (official page here). I went to grad school at MIT. I'm a climber and general outdoor freak, a taste I acquired in my first 23 years of life while living in Utah and attending the University of Utah. Since moving to Boston, I run more than I climb, and have a masochistic taste for things like marathons. Trying to get back into climbing more now that I'm in Pittsburgh and have a car again. I like networks, operating systems, security, and most other things that pass my way. I also have a peculiar fondness for cooking and sharing chicken stock recipes with my mom. Luckily, she's a much better cook than I, so the direction of information flow is fairly obvious.

For some strange reason, I got a biology degree in addition to a computer science degree. This doesn't mean I actually know anything about biology, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for it. These days, I do almost entirely CS things

Official things

• My CV [ps] [PDF]
• Research and Publications
• My CMU home page has all sorts of official stuff on it.
  I used to work in the Networks and Mobile Systems (NMS) and Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems (PDOS) research groups at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science.
  Most of my research there was in the Resilient Overlay Networks project.
• I also contribute to the Utah Network Testbed (emulab), and the MIT Applied Security Reading Group. I've written a couple of older Security Advisories.
• I'm no longer with ArosNet, an ISP that I helped create. The last of my partners finally sold Aros in jan 2005 or so. Good luck, ArosNet!

Personal Interests

• My livejournal blog and the older babble - musings, babble, etc.
• The ugly but amusing Pi searcher (100 million digits can't be wrong). It may be odd, but it's in the Uselessness of Pi and Friends section of the Useless Web Pages.
• Climbing, hiking, ice climbing, mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding, running and triathlon, and in general, getting myself in trouble with my friends from the MIT Outing Club.
