Brown CS is happy to announce that effective July 1, 2025, Eliot Horowitz Assistant Professor of Computer Science Malte Schwarzkopf has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure.
Malte came to Brown in 2019 after completing postdoctoral research in the Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems Group (PDOS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Technology Laboratory (MIT CSAIL). His PhD in computer science from the University of Cambridge was advised by Steven Hand, and it followed an MA from the same institution.
Interested in computer systems, especially distributed systems, operating systems, and privacy-preserving systems, Malte leads the Efficient and Trustworthy Operating Systems Group (ETOS), which builds and investigates core abstractions and techniques for improving the efficiency and trustworthiness of practical computer systems. They conduct research on operating systems, distributed systems, data privacy, web services, data center infrastructure, compilers, and security.
Appointed the Eliot Horowitz Assistant Professor of Computer Science last year, Malte’s recent honors include the EuroSys 2023 Test-of-Time Award as well as Brown’s Philip J. Bray Award for Excellence in Teaching in the Physical Sciences, a Hazeltine Citation for Excellence in Teaching, Guidance, and Support, and the Henry Merritt Wriston Fellowship. He’s the recipient of an Amazon Research Award, a Google Research Scholar award, and an NSF CAREER Award for work on privacy compliance by construction in web applications.
