Liuba Shrira

Liuba Shrira is a professor of computer science at Brandeis University, whose research interests primarily involve distributed systems.[1]

Liuba Shrira received her PhD from Technion.[1] She is affiliated with the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Previously, she was a researcher in the MIT Programming Methodology Group (1986–1997), a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research (2004–2005)[1], and a visiting professor at Technion (2010–2011)[2].

She is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), which has recognized her as a Distinguished Scientist in 2009, and the IEEE Computer Society.[1]

Shrira was one of the founding members of the Systers mailing list for women in computing.[3]

Interests

According to her Brandeis bio page[4], Shrira is interested in the design and evaluation of system architectures that provide consistency and reliability without compromising on performance. For example, how to provide high-performance reliable storage in the presence of malicious attacks, how can a scalable Internet storage system support consistent sharing for mobile collaborators, how to make long-lived consistent past states available to an application without performance penalty, how to upgrade without down-time a storage system as it evolves over time.

Aside from technology and research she enjoys outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, and exploring caves.
