Professor Howie Huang has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award for his research on hardware error resilient virtualization infrastructure. CAREER grants are the most prestigious awards given by the NSF to junior faculty, and they are offered to faculty members who excel at both research and teaching.
Professor Huang's research will advance understanding of hardware error behaviors in virtualized environments and will develop virtualization-aware techniques for robust error detection, recovery, and protection. The new resilient virtualization infrastructure is expected to help deliver reliable services to millions of users in cloud data centers that are vital to our society and economy.
