Joe Buck defended his thesis “EXTENDING MAPREDUCE FOR SCIENTIFIC DATA” on April 30th, 2014. He has accepted a position with Amazon at their Seattle office. He plans to continue working on the SciHadoop / SIDR code as freetime allows and welcomes opportunities to collaborate on this work.

Joe’s research focused on in-situ processing and large-scale storage with the DAMASC team. After graduating from Bethel University (St. Paul, MN) with a BS in Computer Science in 2004, Joe spent four years writing systems level software for enterprise customers at Veritas, now part of Symantec. In addition to his research and classroom work, Joe has completed internships at Google (2009), Microsoft (2010), Greenplum (2012) and was a summer research intern at Los Alamos National Laboratory (2011).
