Richard A. Uhlig

Intel Fellow, Intel Labs
Chief Virtualization Architect
INTEL CORPORATION

Richard Uhlig is an Intel Fellow and chief architect for Intel's Virtualization Initiative. Uhlig started virtualization efforts within Intel in 1998 as a research project in Intel Labs and has since led the definition of multiple generations of virtualization architecture for Intel processors and platforms, known collectively as "Intel Virtualization Technology" (Intel® VT). Intel VT is today used in a variety of settings and applications to improve the utilization, management, availability, and security of systems based on Intel Architecture.

In addition to his work on the definition of Intel VT, Uhlig has led several successful software prototyping projects, including software emulators and research virtual-machine monitors for VT. These prototypes have been used extensively within Intel to inform VT architecture definition, and for virtualization usage-model analysis, hardware validation, technology demonstrations, and for early VT software development.

Prior to joining Intel in 1996, Uhlig held post-doctoral fellowships at the European national research labs of Germany, Greece and France, where he worked on advancing simulation technology and on architectural support for modern operating-system design.

Uhlig has published more than 20 technical papers, holds 24 patents and has received two Intel Achievement Awards.

Uhlig graduated with highest honors from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with a bachelor's degree in computer engineering in 1988. Subsequently from the same school, he earned a master's degree in computer science and engineering in 1993, and a Ph.D. in computer science and engineering in 1995.
