Dr Alain Roy

Alain Roy Alain Roy is currently an Associate Researcher with the Condor Project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US.

He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Chicago in 2001, where he did research about advanced reservations for Quality of Service across heterogeneous resources. Today, Alain is the Open Science Grid (OSG) Software Coordinator, where he guides the creation, deployment, and support of the VDT, a grid software distribution used by OSG, EGEE, and other grids. He is also co-principal investigator on the NMI nanoHUB project which is deploying a grid infrastructure for running nanotechnology jobs.

Alain will be tutoring Condor technology slot.
