Additionally, if you're really interested in free software at university, UCLA's Paul Eggert is pretty prolific. So here may be worth considering. - Maria On Sat, Sep 28, 2019, 16:17 Valdis Klētnieks <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> wrote:

Hello, does anyone know any university that has lines of research on the linux kernel
Well.. most of the actual code development is being done out in industry and by individuals. The stuff that happens in universities is usually more theoretical (new concepts in memory management, etc), and merely *uses* Linux as a platform because it's available. Pretty much nobody is doing any research *on* the Linux kernel as itself (unless it's as a case study in managing large scale software development, or as a data point for code quality metrics and other such things).
And there's a difference between "University ABC has a professor who's got this one project that happens to use Linux in it" and "University DEF has 4 professors and 20 grad students who have set up an official Center For Something Research". So if you're looking for grad schools, you want to be looking at things with longevity, like the MIT Media Lab, or Purdue's computer security expertise, or a lot of the stuff being done at CMU or Stanford or Berkeley. It sucks to transfer to a grad school for 3 years, only to have the project you transferred for go away a year later....
(And many of those projects never see the light of day, because they often end up being some variant of "If we measured metric X better, we could do a better job of predicting what to do with Y" - but it often turns out that measuring X better costs more than the added efficiency of Y gains you....)
