Why did you choose the profession of scientific investigation? During high school at Seattle Prep, my favorite subjects were physics, chemistry, and math; there it was emphasized that scholarship required a deep and fundamental knowledge of subjects. In the Jesuit tradition, academic excellence, curiosity, and service are inextricably entwined. During those years, I decided that my mission in l...

Dynamics of eternal inflation on the landscape admits description in terms of the Martin-Siggia-Rose (MSR) effective field theory that is in one-to-one correspondence with vacuum dynamics equations. On those sectors of the landscape, where transport properties of the probability measure for eternal inflation are important, renormalization group fixed points of the MSR effective action determine...

The Eternal system provides transparent fault tolerance for CORBA applications, without requiring the modification of either the application or the ORB. Eternal replicates the application objects, and ensures strong replica consistency by employing reliable totally-ordered multicast messages for conveying the IIOP messages of the application. To maintain replica consistency even as replicas fai...

The Eternal system pioneered the interception approach to providing transparent fault tolerance for CORBA, which allows it to make a CORBA application reliable with little or no modification to the application or the ORB. The design and implementation of the Eternal system has influenced industrial practices by providing the basis for the specifications of the Fault-Tolerant CORBA standard that...

In every mythological story, a quest for immortality and eternality depicts man’s inner fervor for unity with gods and the supreme power. Man seeks full immersion in life and longs for immortality at the same time. In other words, he wants to live both in time and in eternity. The desire for eternity in man shows his ceaseless struggle with time, and even more so an intense fight with death to ...
