What I am currently measuring, what is written up, and where the open questions are. Interests below, then papers, manuscripts and filings, then service and talks.

NeurIPS 2026 Workshops · 2 acceptances + reviewer

Two papers on safe runtime evolution of embodied agents accepted at AgenticOS and CL4FMAgents @ NeurIPS 2026. Served as a reviewer for CL4FMAgents.

Operating Systems

Runtime-programmable kernels, in-kernel verification, eBPF as a first-class kernel primitive.

Real-Time Systems

WCET analysis, schedulability admission, bounded interrupt paths on constrained hardware.

Systems Measurement

Reproducible benchmarking, provenance-gated evidence, negative results in speculative paging.

Embedded & Robotics

Safe runtime evolution of embodied agents: transactional controller publication, versioned authority, safe behavior replacement. Safety monitors between software and actuators.

Manuscripts & filings

                An Authority Lifecycle for Self-Modifying Embodied Agents — AgenticOS Workshop @ NeurIPS 2026Authority lifecycle for agents that modify and publish their own executable behavior at runtime.
Separates proposal, activation, execution, resource, and effect authority.
Versioned grants, continuous revalidation at privileged effects.

                Who Guards the Update? Transactional Publication Semantics for Continually Learning Embodied Agents — CL4FMAgents Workshop @ NeurIPS 2026Safe publication of controller and behavior updates in continually learning embodied agents.
Transactional semantics so stale or superseded behavior cannot keep control during updates.
Part of AxiomOS’s runtime-evolution model.
