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.
