Biography
Daniel J. Dubois is a Senior Research Scientist at Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences. He obtained both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer engineering from Politecnico di Milano, as well as another master’s degree in computer science from the University of Illinois at Chicago. He earned his PhD in information engineering from Politecnico di Milano. Dubois is currently working with David Choffnes and the Mon(IOT)r lab to understand the privacy implications of smart devices and the Internet of Things. His research is rooted in software engineering, specifically on decentralized and self-adaptive software architectures from a perspective of privacy. Dubois’s research goal is to give people a means to: (1) understand what private information their devices are sharing with third parties; and (2) block any unwanted information sharing, as he believes that the public’s awareness of the sensitive information they give and get access to are almost non-existent.
Prior to joining Northeastern, Dubois interned at IBM Haifa Research Lab, working on optimizing live virtual machine migrations. He then participated as a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab in decentralizing the content sharing platform called ShAir for mobile devices. Dubois later led the SPANDO (Self-organizing Performance Prediction and Optimization for Large-scale Systems) Project at Imperial College, where he worked to optimize the trade-off between cost and performance to deploy cloud applications.
Dubois grew up in Cagliari, on the island of Sardinia.
