Bianca Schroeder is a computer scientist whose research concerns the reliability of data storage devices and the effects of data faults on high performance computing.[1][2][3][4] Educated in Germany, Ireland, and the US, she works in Canada as a professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Toronto.
Education and career
Schroeder studied computer science at Saarland University in Germany, with a year in Ireland as an exchange student at the University of Limerick. She earned a master's degree in 1999, under the joint supervision of Kurt Mehlhorn and Susanne Albers.[5] Next, she went to Carnegie Mellon University in the US, where she completed her Ph.D. in 2005. Her dissertation, Improving the Performance of Static and Dynamic Requests at a Busy Web Site, was advised by Mor Harchol-Balter.[5][6]
Shroeder remained at Carnegie Mellon University for two years as a postdoctoral researcher with Garth Gibson before taking a faculty position at the University of Toronto.[7] Schroeder was given a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Reliable and Efficient Data Centres in 2014, renewed in 2019.[8] She is a professor in the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences of the University of Toronto,[9]
Recognition
Schroeder was a 2013 recipient of the Outstanding Early Career Computer Science Researcher Award of Computer Science Canada/Informatique Canada.[10] She was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2013.[11]
Her research has won two USENIX test of time awards. At FAST 2019, she was given the award for a 2007 paper with Garth Gibson entitled "Disk Failures in the Real World: What Does an MTTF of 1,000,000 Hours Mean to You?". At FAST 2022, she was awarded a second time for her 2008 paper "An Analysis of Data Corruption in the Storage Stack", written with Lakshmi N. Bairavasundaram, Garth Goodson, Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau, and Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau.[12]
