Welcome

Rodrigo Schmidt


I am currently a distributed algorithms researcher at the Laboratory of Operating Systems, the same lab I worked during my PhD in Computer and Communication Sciences.

My work is on fault-tolerant distributed algorithms, with focus on distributed agreement, storage systems, and consistency guarantees.
