Web Page of Ali Akoglu, Interested in Joining

I look for students with backgrounds and interests mainly in reconfigurable computing and high performance computing areas.

On software side I am looking for candidates who are interested in developing:
- parallel programs for emerging many-core architectures
- run time and compile time profiler tools for heterogenous architectures
- resource management strategies from SoC to datacenter scale
On the hardware side I am looking for candidates who are interested in developing:
- adaptive hardware architectures
- reconfigurable systems

Students applying to UofA for M.S. or Ph.D.
- Please apply directly to the university and the department. Please do not contact me about admissions questions or ask me to evaluate your application for admission or financial support - I will ignore them.
- If you are a prospective graduate student with prior background (projects, courses, work experience) in high performance computing systems and/or reconfigurable computing then send a brief email to me with a resume as plain text or PDF file attachments.

Graduate students already at UofA
If you are already at UofA and want to explore joining my research group, then come and talk to me. Usually I consider taking students only after they have been at UofA for a semester or two so that I have some concrete basis to evaluate your performance.

Undergraduate students at UofA
I do take undergraduate student researchers in my lab as summer interns, and as research aides. I only consider students who have a solid GPA, some advanced undergraduate coursework in relevant topics and preferably some project experience. Usually the best time to start is as you enter your final year of undergraduate studies.

Post-doctoral researchers
Contact me if you wish to explore post-doc opportunities. You must have a Ph.D. in EE,CE or CS, a high-quality dissertation with a good set of publications, excellent written and oral communication skills, and seeking a post-doc to do new research.
