Pedro Fonseca's research focuses on making computer systems more reliable and secure, including cloud and serverless computing, operating systems, and distributed systems. Recent work examines how to speed up serverless computing (where applications run in short-lived cloud functions), detect software bugs and security vulnerabilities, and improve isolation between programs sharing hardware. Students in this area would likely engage with systems-building projects that combine performance optimization with security and fault-tolerance analysis.
