Research Assistant Professor of Computer Science
B.S., University of Utah, 1983
Professor Lepreau has been leading research in the
Department of Computer Science since 1992 as the Assistant Director of
the Computer Systems Laboratory. His research interests focus on
operating systems, including many other research areas related to
building secure, flexible, and high performance systems. These
include information security, programming and domain-specific
languages, compilers, networks, distributed systems, and software
assurance and engineering. He is Principal Investigator of two
DARPA-sponsored research grants focusing on developing a secure,
flexible, and high-performance operating system, including user-level
but strong management of arbitrary resources, such as memory and the
cpu. In this effort, much software has been developed by his
group, including the Flick IDL compiler, the OSKit, the
Fluke operating system, and the OMOS linker and object server.
