The IBM Faculty Awards is a worldwide program intended to foster collaboration between IBM and the world’s leading universities and promote curricular innovation in disciplines and geographies that are of strategic interest to IBM. To qualify for this award, candidates must have an outstanding scientific track record and have made fundamental contributions to their field. They must also be members of the faculty at a research institution that is actively involved in higher education.
Carrera’s research focuses on data-processing environments in MapReduce, an emerging programming model introduced by Google in 2004. He has received the IBM Faculty Award for his research into the dynamic management of hybrid services in cloud-computing environments. Specifically, the award recognizes him for developing Adaptive Scheduler, a dispatcher for MapReduce environments, in collaboration with Yolanda Becerra, professor in the UPC’s Department of Computer Architecture.
Carrera completed his PhD at the UPC in 2008. In 2006, he worked at IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Center in New York, and since then has collaborated on several research projects with the Middleware and Virtualization Management group. With a different IBM research group, he recently began a second line of collaboration: MareIncognito, a joint IBM-BSC research project intended to expand the limits of supercomputing.
In the BSC’s Autonomic Systems and e-Business Platforms group and in the UPC’s Department of Computer Architecture, Carrera has worked on server virtualization, resource management in cloud-computing environments, dynamic web-service quality control, and massively distributed data processing. In these various fields, he has published some two dozen articles at international conferences and in scholarly journals.
