Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Van Hensbergen is a Fellow at Arm with 26 years of deep systems and research experience in operating systems, high-performance computing, and large-scale distributed systems. He previously spent over a decade as a research staff member at IBM and earlier worked on Inferno and Plan 9 kernel development at Lucent/Bell Labs, blending academic rigor with production-grade system design. At Arm he leads work on confidential computing, next-generation isolation OSes, and initiatives that brought ARM into DOE HPC programs, demonstrating an uncommon mix of hands-on kernel work and program-level leadership. His open-source contributions include substantive refactors to a 9P filesystem implementation, reflecting a continuing appetite for low-level protocols and clean, maintainable system code. Based in Austin, TX, he combines principled research with pragmatic engineering to scale systems toward millions of cores.
