I am a computer engineer with more than 35 years of experience in the Industry and Academia. I contributed to the development of a wide range of computer systems; from small, battery-operated devices up to application-specific supercomputers. I Currently hold the Chair in Computer Architecture at QCE and am also a honorary visiting professor at the Department of Computing of Imperial College London since 2014. Previously, I held the Chair in Innovative Computer Architectures at the University of Groningen till June 2023, and was a Chair in Computer Systems Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden until May 2015. My work received several recognitions, including the Design & Engineering Showcase Award at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 1999) and the best papers from the 24th International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS'10) and USENIX/SAGE Large Installation System Administration conference (LISA 2006). I was asked to remain a member of the CogniGron Program Board and am currently advising several high tech companies. My research interests include, among others, application and data centric computer systems design, advanced computer architecture and micro-architecture, reconfigurable computing, hardware/software co-design, and Embedded Systems design.
