Eric Keller is an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado, and co-founder and CTO of Stateless. He received his PhD from Princeton in 2011 and did a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania. His research is around enabling and capitalizing on a more dynamic and programmable computing and network infrastructure, via such technologies as virtualization, software-defined networking, and the movement toward cloud-based services. He actually finds infrastructure interesting and exciting. It’s not glamorous work, but it is critical and there is so much innovation in it.
