Presenter

I am a Senior Lecturer (my position is equivalent to the position of an Associate Professor in U.S.A. and most other countries' terminology) in the School of Computer Science of the University of Manchester, where I teach and lead a Research Laboratory with research interests in the wide area of High Performance, Parallel and Distributed Computing.

I have carried out research, focusing primarily on issues related to parallelism and concurrency and resource sharing, on a wide variety of topics (e.g., parallelizing compilers, performance modeling and prediction, multithreading, load balancing, workload and task scheduling, distributed query processing, grid information systems, service level agreements, adaptive and autonomic computing, cloud computing) and with a large number of collaborators.

Currently, I am particularly interested in problems related to resource management and scheduling on any High-Performance and/or Parallel Computing environment (from multi-/many-core to clouds), especially in relation to multiple constraints. I am also interested in all sorts of problems related to scientific workflows and cloud computing but am happy to discuss any PhD proposal that relates to the management of large-scale computations or data.
