Dr Hans Vandierendonck

School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Hans’ research seeks to understand how to maximise the utilisation of computer systems in order to increase speed of computation, or reduce energy consumption. A central tenet of his research is to tease out key characteristics of applications, software and hardware and leverage these to develop bespoke algorithms and optimizations. His research focusses on runtime-system techniques, compilation and application-specific solutions. He has applied his research to scientific computing codes and data analytics problems.
