Ant Rowstron

For the last 13 or so years I have been working as a researcher at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK where I am now a Principal Researcher and lead the Systems and Networking Group. My research interests are broad, covering the spectrum of systems, distributed systems and networking. In May of 2010 I was elected as a Fellow of the British Computer Society.

I received an MEng degree in Computer Systems and Software Engineering in 1993 from the University of York, UK, and a DPhil degree in Computer Science in 1996 from the University of York, UK.

In 1996 I moved to the Computer Laboratory at Cambridge University, UK as a Research Associate and then moved to the Laboratory for Communications Engineering in the Engineering Department, Cambridge University, UK as a Senior Research Associate. During my time at Cambridge University I was a consultant for the Olivetti and Oracle Research Laboratory (ORL) (which became the AT&T Research Cambridge in 1998 and has now sadly closed).  In mid 1999 I moved to Microsoft Research Ltd in Cambridge, UK where I have been since.
