Dr. Mattan Erez

Biography

Mattan Erez is a Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, holding the Cullen Trust Higher Education Endowed Professorship Engineering #7. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 2007, the same year he joined the faculty at UT Austin. Professor Erez's research focuses on computer architecture, particularly on critical aspects such as locality, parallelism, and bandwidth constraints to overcome the limitations of today’s architectures. His goal is to improve the cooperation between hardware, compilers, and programmers, enabling new levels of performance and efficiency in code-portability. He has a history of collaborative inter-departmental research and has worked extensively in processor architecture, system architecture, and programming language applications. His current project aims to employ compiler technology abstractions to target specific low-level features of emerging and existing processors, addressing power and energy constraints while providing reliable execution at low hardware costs and achieving performance goals across diverse environments. His research interests include Computer Architecture, High-Performance Computing, and Programming Languages Models.
