Christopher Stewart, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Computer
Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University. He received his PhD from the University of Rochester in 2008. Prior to attending the University of Rochester,
he attended Morehouse College in Atlanta,
GA.
At the Ohio State University, he is spearheading research in the
following areas: Systems support for sustainable
datacenters, i.e., datacenters that
can operate profitably and have a zero-carbon footprint; empirical studies about the performance,
performance dependability, and energy consumption of emerging networked
applications; scalable, self-sustaining programs that
encourage members of underrepresented
groups (broadly construed) to consider research careers.
