I manage the Systems and Networking Research Area in Microsoft Research Redmond, comprised of the Computer Architecture, Distributed Systems, Security, Networking, Networked Embedded Computing, and Operating Systems groups.
I built a mesh networking implementation.
I built a prototype implementation of IPv6 for Windows NT. See our web page. This evolved into the IPv6 stack shipped in Windows XP and CE, and then directly influenced Vista's rewritten networking stack.
I worked on Rialto, a small real-time operating system for consumer devices. Rialto was used in Microsoft's ITV trial with NTT in Yokosuka Japan. The Tiger multimedia file-system ran on the servers used in the trial.
In grad school, I worked on the Mach operating system. The code I wrote then is shipping today deep inside Apple's OS X operating system.
