Bio Sketch Sudeep Pasricha is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Computer Science at Colorado State University, where he is also the Director of the Multicore Embedded Computing Systems (MECS) Lab. His current research interests are in the areas of embedded systems, mobile computing, CAD algorithms, networks-on-chip (NoC), emerging interconnect technologies (photonic, carbon nanotube, 3D), memory architectures, scheduling theory, exascale computing, low-power, thermal- aware, and fault-tolerant computing. He received the B.E. degree in electronics and communication engineering from Delhi Institute of Technology, Delhi, India, in 2000, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of California, Irvine in 2005 and 2008. He joined Colorado State University (CSU) in 2008. Prior to joining CSU, he spent several years working in semiconductor companies including STMicroelectronics and Conexant. He has published a book, and over 80 research articles in peer-reviewed conferences and journals that have received more than 1250 citations. He holds a patent and has presented several tutorials at premier conferences. His research has been recognized with Best Paper Awards at the IEEE AICCSA 2011, IEEE ISQED 2010 and ACM/IEEE ASPDAC 2006 conferences, as well as fellowships and awards for excellence in research. His research is sponsored by research grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL), including the AFOSR Young Investigator Award in 2013, as well as equipment grants from Blackberry, Microsoft, Xilinx, Altera, and ARM. Prof. Pasricha is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the ACM SIGDA E-news, Associate Editor of ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS), Advisory Board member of ACM SIGDA, and Information Director of ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES).
