Interested in joining my research group?

I plan to hire one or two students every year, and look for students with backgrounds and interests mainly in computer architecture area.

• On software side I am looking for candidates who are interested in:
  
  • Analysis of algorithms and computation characteristics
    
  • Developing methodologies to explore computation patterns for scientific applications
• On the hardware side I am looking for candidates who are interested in:
  • Hardware software co-design,
  • Application specific performance modeling and analysis,
  • Embedded computing solutions for scientific applications,
  • Reconfigurable systems


• Students applying to UofA for M.S. or Ph.D.
  
  • Please apply directly to the university and the department. Please do not contact me about admissions questions or ask me to evaluate your application for admission or financial support - I will ignore them.
    
  • If you are a prospective graduate student with prior background (projects, courses, work experience) in embedded computing systems and/or reconfigurable computing then send a brief email to me with a resume as plain text or PDF file attachments. I will not open any attachment other than plain text or PDF. Please don't spam me with multiple emails. Spamming will only ensure a negative evaluation of your application by me. I will respond to your email if I am interested in your background. Otherwise, please assume that I am not interested. It is not humanly possible for me to reply to every email I receive from prospective students.

• Graduate students already at UofA
  If you are already at UofA and want to explore joining my research group, then come and talk to me. Usually I consider taking students only after they have been at UofA for a semester or two so that I have some concrete basis to evaluate your performance.

• Undergraduate students at UofA
  I do take some undergraduate student researchers in my lab as summer interns, and as research aides. I only consider students who have a solid GPA, some advanced undergraduate coursework in relevant topics and preferably some project experience. Usually the best time to start is as you enter your final year of undergraduate studies.

• Post-doctoral researchers
  Contact me if you wish to explore post-doc opportunities. You must have a Ph.D. in EE,CE or CS, a high-quality dissertation with a good set of publications, excellent written and oral communication skills, and seeking a post-doc to do new research.
