Dr Alain Roy

Alain Roy is currently an Associate Researcher with the Condor Project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Chicago in 2001, where he did research about advanced reservations for Quality of Service across heterogeneous resources. Today Alain concentrates on creating and supporting the VDT, a grid software distribution used by a variety of grid projects including Open Science Grid, and EGEE. He is also a co-principal investigator on the NMI nanoHUB project which is deploying a grid infrastructure for running nanotechnology jobs.
