Main Page — Welcome!

Greetings! I am a second year PhD student at UNC Chapel Hill advised by Dr. James H. Anderson. My research interests include real-time operating systems and operating systems in general. Naturally, I joined the Real-Time Systems Group at UNC. I contribute to the LITMUS^RT project, UNC's real-time extension to the Linux kernel. Currently, all LITMUS^RT contributors are students in the real-time group, but we welcome outside contributions!

Most people just call me Chris. For more about my past, check out the about me page.

I would be happy to hear from you. My email address is cjk@cs.unc.edu.
