Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKinan Al Bab is an assistant professor of Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University and a computer systems researcher with 11 years of industry and academic experience spanning distributed systems, secure multi-party computation, and IoT data backends. He completed a PhD at Brown after hands-on roles building production-grade platforms—from SDN testing at Google to an Android SDK and backend engines at an early-stage startup. His work blends rigorous research (including collaborations at MIT CSAIL) with practical system design, notably implementing MPC-enabled backends for cross-device applications. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Java, Python/Flask, Postgres, Neo4j) he repeatedly bridges theory and deployment, turning formal models and prototypical tools into usable systems. Less obvious: he has deep experience in model-based software tooling and automated model repair, reflecting a knack for making complex verification ideas practically applicable.
