Jason Nieh

Jason Nieh is a Professor of Computer Science and Co-Director of the Software Systems Laboratory at Columbia University. He is most well known for his work on virtualization. He was one of the early pioneers of operating-system-level virtualization, which led to the development of Linux containers and Docker, was an early proponent of desktop virtualization, and developed key technologies for mobile virtualization, including the Linux ARM hypervisor, KVM ARM. He was also the first to introduce virtual machines and virtual appliances to teach hands-on computer science courses such as operating systems, which has now become common practice at many universities.
