Philip Shilane

I currently work for EMC in the Backup Recovery Systems Division
on projects that are a few years out for the company, mostly
involving deduplication, network replication, and improving storage.
My office is in Princeton, NJ, and I report to the CTO of the division.

I defended my dissertation at Princeton University in March 2008 on
the topic of analyzing 3D shapes to determine important regions
useful for focusing a shape retrieval algorithm.

I can still be reached about research or personal items at:
