Andy Wang's Home Page



I am a Ph. D. candidate in computer science at UCLA , under professor Gerald Popek . The topic of my dissertation is Conquest, a disk/persistent-RAM hybrid file system, supported by NSF. I have also worked on the Rumor Reconciliation Simulation with professors Peter Reiher and Rajive Bagrodia , under the DARPA-funded Travler project. With some luck, I should graduate in 2002. Here is my curriculum vitae in html .


Recent Updates:

I have started a new life.

CS111 (operating systems).

Looking for fun stuff on the web? Check out my new page. Also, please check out my Random Art Gallery.

Wondering how to start hacking Linux? Here are some basic materials I prepared for two previous operating systems classes: An Introduction to Linux Kernel Development (Winter/Spring 2000)
