Charles Leiserson Charles is a professor of Computer Science and Engineering in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). He is a member of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), a member of the Lab's Theory of Computation Group (TOC), and head of its Supercomputing Technologies Group (SuperTech). Prof. Leiserson's research centers on developing theoretical principles of parallel and distributed computing, especially as they relate to engineering reality. He pioneered the development of VLSI theory and has written many papers on VLSI algorithms, graph layout, and computer-aided design. He has designed and engineered many parallel algorithms, including ones for matrix linear algebra, graph algorithms, optimization, and sorting. Prof. Leiserson's recent research has focused on dynamic, asynchronous parallel computing. |
