Victor Luchangco works in the Scalable Synchronization Group of Sun Microsystems Laboratories. His research focuses on developing algorithms and mechanisms to support concurrent programming on large-scale distributed systems.

Victor is a theoretician by disposition and training, but he is also interested in practical aspects of computing. In particular, he would like to design mechanisms that people will actually use. In addition, he is interested in exploring how to make proofs for concurrent systems easier, both by changing how people design these systems and by using tools to aid in formal verification.

Victor received an Sc.D. in Computer Science from MIT in 2001, with a dissertation on models for weakly consistent memories.
