Ilias Marinos

À propos

Ilias is a Senior Researcher conducting research on systems and networking at MSR. He received his PhD degree from the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, U.K. in 2018.  He worked under the guidance of Robert N.M. Watson and Mark Handley (UCL).

Before Cambridge, Ilias received a Master of Science degree in networked computer systems from the University College London and prior to that a MEng from the Computer Engineering & Informatics at the University of Patras, Greece.

Ilias is a systems researcher with a keen interest in high-performance networked computer systems. He has been continuously pushing to increase the throughput and reduce the latency of network and storage stacks on commodity hardware. Some of the techniques he has invented eliminate the “overhead of generality,” which he has identified as a significant obstacle to scaling. These techniques are documented in his doctoral thesis and his research papers.

Ilias’ notable honors include the Google PhD Fellowship Award (2016) and the NetApp Advanced Technology Fellowship grant (2015), which he received with his advisor, for his work on “Network & Storage Stack Specialization for Performance”.
