Eric Freudenthal is an Associate Research Scientist in the Computer
Science Department of New York University's Courant Institute and will
join the faculty of the University of Texas in El Paso this fall.  An
objective of much of Freudenthal's research has been the design and
development of hardware and software system that provide high
performance over a range of operating conditions.  His dissertation
work, conducted at Courant, evaluated and improved the interaction of
algorithmic and architectural mechanisms for coordinating large shared
memory systems.  Freudenthal has also contributed structural and
algorithmic components to the MSTAR model-based target recognition
project.  Most recently, he has investigated abstractions and
mechanism useful for constructing robust, secure and self-organizing
distributed systems.
