Eddie Kohler is a computer scientist specializing in networking and operating systems.
He is currently a professor of computer science at Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Prior to Harvard, Eddie was a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.Eddie co-founded Mazu Networks in 2000 and served as its Chief Scientist until it was acquired in 2009 . In 2006, at the age of 33 he was named to the TR35 as one of the Top 35 Innovators Under 35 by MIT Technology Review magazine .
In 2014, he received the SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award, an award given annually to a researcher who has made "contributions that are highly creative, innovative, and possibly high-risk, in keeping with the visionary spirit of Mark Weiser." He is also the author of the HotCRP conference management software.In 2005, Kohler (with David Mazières) wrote a paper titled "Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List" and sarcastically submitted it to a conference from which the two did not wish to receive further communications.
Years later, the paper (submitted by another scientist to an ostensibly peer-reviewed technical journal) was accepted for publication, despite a body text consisting entirely of repetition of the phrase "Get me off your fucking mailing list".
