  • 2007 - IEEE Fellow For leadership in design of secure, large scale, distributed systems

Overview

Jean Bacon is affiliated with the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and works primarily within the field of Computer Science. Their research focuses broadly on distributed and parallel computing systems, with significant contributions to topics such as distributed systems and fault tolerance, computer networks and communications, and peer-to-peer network technologies.

Their scholarly contributions include work related to indigenous health, education, and rights, as well as intersections between indigenous studies and ecology. These areas complement their more technical investigations by incorporating elements of sociology, political science, and environmental history.

Recent publications by Jean Bacon include:

  • Distributed computing with RPC: the Cambridge approach (2021), published in CL Technical Reports
  • 'Who Had to Die so I Could Go Camping?': Shifting non-Native Conceptions of Land and Environment through Engagement with Indigenous Thought and Action (2021), published in Ethics Policy & Environment

Jean Bacon often collaborates with other researchers, with frequent co-authors including Ken Moody, Kirsten Vinyeta, Kenneth G. Hamilton, Jatinder Singh, and Zhixue Wu.

Their research has been disseminated mainly through venues such as CL Technical Reports, Environmental Politics, Ethics Policy & Environment, Water Research, and Environmental Sociology.

The main topics addressed in their body of work are:

  • Distributed and Parallel Computing Systems
  • Indigenous Health, Education, and Rights
  • Indigenous Studies and Ecology
  • Distributed systems and fault tolerance
  • Peer-to-Peer Network Technologies
  • American Environmental and Regional History
  • Access Control and Trust

Jean Bacon received the IEEE Fellow award in 2007 for leadership in the design of secure, large-scale distributed systems.
