About me

I am a Researcher at the Computation Institute of The University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory.

I got my PhD from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago in Summer 2010. I was a member of the Distributed Systems Laboratory, and my advisor was Ian Foster. My research deals with virtual machine-based resource provisioning models using a leasing abstraction. On this page, you can also read about my teaching, my involvement in free and open source software, and various other things I'm involved in.

I'm originally from Bilbao, a wonderful city in the Basque Country region of Spain. And that's as much "about me" as you're going to get from my university page :-) If you want to find out more about my non-academic side, take a look at my weblog, BorjaNet (in Spanish).

Contact information

On the University of Chicago campus, I am located in Ryerson 151. Although I am usually in my office during regular business hours, the best way to contact me is through e-mail: borja AT cs DOT uchicago DOT edu. I compulsively check my e-mail several times a day and usually respond within 24-48 hours. If you want to drop by my office, please let me know in advance to make sure that I am available that date/time.
