Margo Ilene Seltzer is an American computer scientist. She is currently the Canada 150 Research Chair in Computer Systems and the Cheriton Family Chair in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia.[1] Previously, Seltzer was the Herchel Smith Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and director at the Center for Research on Computation and Society.[2]

Education

On Halloween 1982, Harvard professor Harry Lewis' teach­ing assis­tants appeared at his home in "Harry Lewis" costume, includ­ing his then-trademark mus­tache and pipe. Seltzer is at left.[3]

Seltzer received her A.B. in applied mathematics from Radcliffe College in 1983, where she was teaching assistant under Harry R. Lewis at Harvard University.[3] In 1992, she received her Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley,[4] where her dissertation, "File System Performance and Transaction Support", was supervised by Michael Stonebraker.[5] Her work in log-structured file systems, databases, and wide-scale caching is especially well-known, and she was lead author of the BSD-LFS paper.[6]

Career

Academia

Seltzer became an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University in 1992, and an Associate Professor in 1997. She held endowed chairs as a Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science in 2000,[7] and as the Herchel Smith Professor of Computer Science in 2004. From 2005 to 2010, Seltzer was designated a Harvard College Professor in recognition of "particularly distinguished contributions to undergraduate teaching." Seltzer was the Associate Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences from 2002 to 2006, and an advisor to the Harvard Undergraduate Women in Computer Science.[8]

In September 2018, Seltzer joined the faculty at the University of British Columbia Department of Computer Science as the Canada 150 Research Chair in Computer Systems and the Cheriton Family Chair in Computer Science.[1] In February 2019, she was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering.[9]

Business

Seltzer co-founded Sleepycat Software (developers of the Berkeley DB embedded database) in 1996 and was the CTO until 2006, when the company was acquired by Oracle Corporation. She served as an architect on the Oracle Berkeley DB team for several years before transferring to Oracle Labs where she continues to act as an architect.

Seltzer was a director of USENIX from 2005 to 2014, serving as vice president for one year and president for two.[10] In 2019, she received the USENIX Lifetime Achievement Award for her seminal work on BerkeleyDB and provenance systems and her dedication to the USENIX community at large.[11]

In 2011, Seltzer was made a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (the Association's highest member grade) in recognition of "outstanding accomplishments in computing and information technology and/or outstanding service to ACM and the larger computing community."[12][13] In July 2020, Seltzer accepted the SIGMOD Software Systems award on behalf of the Sleepycat Software team.[14]

Personal life

She is married to software developer Keith Bostic.[15]
