Darrell Don Earl Long (born August 5, 1962, San Diego, California) is an American computer scientist, the Kumar Malavalli Endowed Professor of Storage Systems Research at the University of California, Santa Cruz.[1] He is currently Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Storage.[2]

Biography

Long did his undergraduate studies at San Diego State University, graduating in 1984, and went on to graduate studies at the University of California, San Diego, earning a Ph.D. in 1988 under the supervision of Jehan-François Pâris.[1][3]

At UCSC, he has served as associate dean for research and graduate studies in the Jack Baskin School of Engineering,[4] and he directs the Storage Systems Research Center.[5]

Research

Long's research interests include computer data storage, operating systems, distributed computing, and computer security.[4] He has written highly cited research papers on web caching,[6] distributed file systems,[7] power-aware hard disk management in mobile computing,[8] and low-bandwidth multicast techniques for video on demand,[9] among other topics.

Awards and honors

Long became an IEEE Fellow in 2006 "for contributions to storage systems architecture and performance".[10] In 2008 he was inducted as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[4]
