Welcome!

My name is Myrto and I am currently a second year M.A.Sc student in the
Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
at the University of Toronto.

Prior to that, in July of 2006, I completed my undergraduate studies in the
Electrical & Computer Engineering Department at the National Technical
University of Athens, Greece.

Research

My research area is computer architecture and my supervisor is Professor Andreas Moshovos.
I find every aspect of computer architecture intriguing, especially microarchitecture. Why?
Well, probably because as Hennessy & Patterson said:
"It's not a dreary science of paper machines that will never work. No! It's a discipline of keen
intellectual interest, requiring the balance of marketplace forces to cost-performance-power,
leading to glorious failures and some notable successes."

Courses

For my M.A.Sc, I have taken the following courses:
  • Advanced Computer Architecture (ECE1773)
  • Biologically Inspired Computing (ECE1775)
  • Optimizing Compilers (ECE540)
  • Parallel Computer Architecture and Programming (ECE1755)
  • VLSI Systems Design (ECE1373)

Teaching Assistantships

So far, I have TAed the following undergrad courses here at UofT:
  • ECE243: Computer Organization (Winter 2007, Winter 2008)
  • APS105: Computer Fundamentals (Fall 2007)

Quotes

Hopefully, you will agree with me that some phrases stick with us and keep us going!
Here are some of my favorites. I'll try to recycle them :-)
  • "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." (Andre Gide)
  • "Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling." (Margaret Lee Runbeck)
