Welcome!
Hello. I joined the faculty of the CS department , Colorado State University in Fall 2001. I also hold a joint appointment in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Previously, I was a CNRS researcher at Irisa, Rennes, France, where I headed the COSI research group. You may also view my old home page at Irisa. Before that, I was Assistant profesor in Oregon State University (1991-92) and at University of Oregon (1986-91). I received my Ph.D. from the University of Utah (1986), and my B. Tech (hons) from IIT Kharagpur (1980).
Research Interests:
My research is an amalgam (mélange, in French) of a number of topics in Computer Science and Engineering: programming laguages, algorithms, compilers, computer architecture, VLSI algorithms, embedded systems and FPGAs. With such a broad set of topics, I do not claim to be a generalist, rather I focus on a very particular view of the sub-discipline. This is called the polyhedral model, a mathemtical formalism that can be used to "reason about" in the most general sense a precise class of computations. I have been working on this model since its inception: my Ph.D. dissertation contributed to the establishement of the model.
My research group is called Mélange. This brief research statement despite being decades old, remains a good description of my research. Broadly speaking I'm interested in the following topics.
- Systolic arrays
- Embedded Systems
- (co) Design of VLSI systems, systolic arrays
- Functional Programming and Formal methods
- Computer architecture
- Mapping Algorithms to Architectures
- Automatic Parallelization
and
- Parallel Algorithms/Architectures (notably for the knapsack problem)
