Kevin Greenan completed his Ph.D. working on storage reliability with Prof. Ethan Miller. He was a member of the POTSHARDS, Pergamum and storage class memory projects. His interests include data reliability, coding theory, security, long-term archival storage and distributed systems. He is now a member of the technical staff at Parascale.
