Welcome to this installment of ACM SIGMOD Record's series of interviews with distinguished members of the database community. I'm Marianne Winslett, and today we are in Alexandria, Virginia. I have here with me Boon Thau Loo, who is an Assistant Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Boon is the recipient of the 2007 ACM SIGMOD Dissertation Award for his thesis entitled "The Design and Implementation of Declarative Networks." Boon's PhD is from the University of California at Berkeley, where his advisors were Joe Hellerstein and Ion Stoica. So, Boon, welcome!
