Ep 3: Privacy-preserving Covid Tracing and the Hardware-Software Stack with Dr. James Larus, EPFL

Dr. James Larus is Professor and Dean of the School of Computer
and Communication Sciences at EPFL. Prof. Larus has made
contributions to several fields spanning programming languages,
compilers, computer architecture, and computer systems. He co-led
the Wisconsin Wind Tunnel project, started the Singularity
