Me

You have found the web page of Jim Chow. I recently completed a Ph.D. in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University.

I am interested in reliability, security, and privacy in operating systems. I am also interested in whole-system simulation, virtual machine monitors, binary translation, and using dynamic runtime systems to do interesting things.

My advisor is Mendel Rosenblum.
