Michela Taufer
Ph.D. ETH Zurich, 2002
Biographical Sketch
Michela Taufer is
an ACM Distinguished Scientist and
a J.P. Morgan Chase Scholar at the University of
Delaware where she leads the Global Computing Lab to promote the use
of high performance computing to advance sciences.
Michela Taufer joined the University of Delaware in 2007 where she was
promoted
to associate professor with tenure in 2012
and full professor in 2017. She earned her MS in
Computer Engineering from the University of Padova and her Ph.D. in
Computer Science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH).
She was a post-doctoral research supported by the La Jolla Interfaces
in Science Training Program (also called LJIS) at UC San Diego and The
Scripps Research Institute. Before she joined the University of
Delaware, Michela was faculty in Computer Science at the University of
Texas at El Paso.
Michela has a long history of interdisciplinary work with
high-profile computational biophysics groups in several research and
academic institutions. Her research interests include software
applications and their advance programmability in heterogeneous
computing (i.e., multi-core platforms and GPUs); cloud computing and
volunteer computing; and performance analysis, modeling and
optimization of multi-scale applications. She has been serving as the
principal investigator of several NSF collaborative projects. She
also has significant experience in mentoring a diverse population of
students on interdisciplinary research. Michela's training expertise
includes efforts to spread high-performance computing participation in
undergraduate education and research as well as efforts to increase
the interest and participation of diverse populations in
interdisciplinary studies.
Michela has served on numerous IEEE program committees (SC and
IPDPS among others) and has reviewed for most of the leading journals
in parallel computing. She served as
the IEEE Cluster 2015 General co-Chair and
the IEEE
IPDPS 2017 General Chair. She is
the ACM/IEEE SC19 General Chair.
