The University of Manchester

I am a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester with specialization on heterogeneous architectures and reconfigurable accelerators. I have authored more than 20 research articles in the field of hardware acceleration, system software and programming languages. Currently my work involves heterogeneous architectures ranging from low-power devices to high-end cloud deployments. I am one of the lead developers of TornadoVM and have been part of the team for the last eight years. I have also led the project's communication and dissemination efforts, helping to articulate its goals and advancements to both academic and industrial audiences through talks, documentation, and outreach activities.
