Alberto Lerner

Sept-2025: I am currently spending time on a stealth startup I co-founded with two of my talented colleagues, Sangjin Lee and Kibin Park. I’ll be posting more news soon here.

Bio and Interests

From Jan-2018 till Aug-2025 I was a Senior Researcher and then a Maître Assistant at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. Previously, I spent some time in research groups at IBM Research (both at T.J. Watson and Almaden), and in the industry, at Google and MongoDB—and some start-ups. I got my Ph.D. in 2003 at Ecole Normale Superieure de Telecomunications at Paris (now Paris Tech) having done the research work connected to my Thesis both at INRIA/Rocquencourt and at New York University.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Data Management, Computer Architecture, and Programming Models. My recent goal has been to rethink the architecture of some I/O devices, such as SSDs, NICs, and network switches, to enable them to perform application computations, specifically data management primitives, while transporting data. Thanks to the help of talented collaborators from Computer Engineering, we build prototypes of these devices. As a result of using them, systems gain more performance, energy efficiency, and programmability—something much needed given the volume of data AI systems currently manipulate. We are currently investigating simple abstractions that can expose these devices to programmers with no prior knowledge of their internals.
