Ryan Stutsman

I am an Associate Professor and head of the Scalable Software Systems Lab in the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. My interests include Distributed Systems, Operating Systems, and Databases. I’m passionate about designing and building systems that allow large-scale applications to access data more intensively than has been possible in the past. Formerly, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the databases group at Microsoft Research. Before that, I earned my Ph.D. at Stanford University working as a part of the RAMCloud and the Secure Computer Systems labs. I’m also the winner of an NSF CAREER Award (2018) and the PECASE Award (2025), and the OSDI ‘22 Jay Lepreau Best Paper Award.
