| Biography | I am the Lee Teng-hui Professor and the Senior Associate Dean for Diversity & Academic Affairs in the College of Engineering at Cornell University. I am currently the Assistant Director for the DARPA/SRC Center for Research in Intelligent Storage and Processing in Memory (CRISP) and Associate Director of the NSF Science & Technology Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems (CROPPS).
I consult on computer architecture and computer systems; microprocessors and microarchitecture; multiprocessing and multicore; instruction set architectures (e.g., ARM, MSP430, x86, MIPS); caches and cache coherency; memory subsystems; buses and interconnects.
I have been fortunate to work with extraordinary people; as a result, my research has received multiple awards; among them: two IEEE Micro Top Picks papers (2003 and 2007); an HPCA Best Paper award (2005), as well as MICRO and HPCA Best Paper nominations (2006 and 2015); an NSF CAREER award (2006); two IBM faculty awards (2006 and 2009; and a Distinguished Educator award (2011) by the University of Illinois' Computer Science Department (my graduate alma mater). On the teaching side, I have been recognized with two Kenneth A. Goldman '71 and one Dorothy and Fred Chau MS'74 College of Engineering teaching awards (2005, 2015, and 2018); a Ruth and Joel Spira Award for Teaching Excellence (2015); thrice as the most influential college educator of a Merrill Presidential Scholar (2007, 2016, and 2021); and as the 2011 Tau Beta Pi Professor of the Year in the College of Engineering.
I am a Fellow of the IEEE and currently an elected member of ACM SIGARCH’s Board of Directors (2019-2023). I served as Editor in Chief of IEEE Computer Architecture Letters from 2013 through 2016, and in 2017 as Chair of the IEEE Computer Society’s Transactions Operating Committee, in charge of overseeing all of the society’s journal publications. | |
