Ivo Jimenez is a PhD candidate at the UC Santa Cruz Computer Science Department and a member of the Systems Research Lab. His interests center around distributed storage and data management systems. His current research focuses on the reproducible evaluation and validation of systems research. In particular, he is interested in developing new methodologies for making it practical for researchers to generate reproducible academic articles. Ivo holds a B.S. in Computer Science from University of Sonora and is a UCMEXUS/CoNaCyT doctoral fellow. Before joining the PhD program, he worked for four years as a Research Associate at HP Labs working in the Advanced Database Research laboratory.
