 My current work carries on the research started in the  <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/levy/opal/opal.html">Opal project.</a> My thesis is investigating the interaction between Object-oriented databases (OODBs) and operating system virtual memory. This work is demonstrating that significant improvements in  performance can be achived using <i>commodity</i> operating systems, but in a different way than is currently done. Additional improvements can come from modifying the operating system slightly to better serve OODBs.  <h2>
