Dr Natalia Chechina

I am a Research Associate (RA) working in RELEASE project with Professor Phil Trinder. I am part of the Dependable Systems Group, School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.

In the RELEASE project we aim to improve the scalability of Erlang programming language - aiming to scale it out to systems with a million cores (maybe 10 000 Erlang nodes). At Heriot-Watt we're working at the language level, designing Scalable Distributed Erlang to improve the scalability of Distributed Erlang.

Research Interests

I'm interested in distributed computing, parallel programming, Erlang, stochastic modelling, autonomous systems, and overlay networks.

Short Biography

Natalia Chechina received the Engineer degree from Kyrgyz State Technical University, Kyrgyzstan in 2008, and a PhD degree from Heriot-Watt University, UK in 2011. She is now a Research Associate at Heriot-Watt University in the RELEASE project (A High-Level Paradigm for Reliable Large-Scale Server Software) sponsored by an EU FP7 STREP (287510). Her main research interests are distributed computing, Erlang, and overlay networks.
