Welcome to my homepage!

My name is Myrto Papadopoulou (Misel-Myrto to be more precise) and I am a Ph.D. candidate
in the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department at the University of Toronto.

Research

My research area is computer architecture and my supervisor is Professor Andreas Moshovos.

M.A.Sc. thesis: "Evaluation of Large Stacked DRAM Caches in a Chip Multiprocessor Environment".

I find every aspect of computer architecture intriguing.
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."
