I have also taught at the Northwestern University, USA, the University of Athens, Greece, the Hellenic Open University, Greece and as a invited professor at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. I received a Bachelors and a Master's Degree from the University of Crete, Greece and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research interests lie primarily in the design of performance-, energy-, and/or cost-optimized computing engines for various applications domains. Most of my work thus far has been on high-performance general-purpose systems.My current work emphasize highly-specialized computing engines for [[wiki:overview|Deep Learning]]. I will also be serving as the Director of the newly formed National Sciences and Engineering Research Council Strategic Partnership Network on Machine Learning Hardware Acceleration (NSERC COHESA), a partnership of 19 Researchers across 7 Universities involving 8 Industrial Partners. For the work I have done with my students and collaborators, I have been awarded the [[https://www.sigarch.org/awards/acm-sigarch-maurice-wilkes-award/|ACM SIGARCH Maurice Wilkes mid-career award]], a National Research Foundation CAREER Award, two IBM Faculty Partnership awards, a Semiconductor Research Innovation award, IEEE Top Picks in Computer Architecture Research, and a MICRO conference Hall of Fame award. I have served as the Program Chair for the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Microarchitecture and the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software.
