Dr. Mattan Erez

Biography

Mattan Erez is a Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, where he holds the Cullen Trust Higher Education Endowed Professorship Engineering # 7. He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 2007 and joined the faculty at UT Austin the same year. His research focuses on computer architecture, with a specific interest in 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 to enable new levels of performance and efficiency in code portability. Dr. Erez has previously worked on processor architecture, system architecture, and programming languages applications. His current project aims to use compiler technology abstractions to target specific low-level features of emerging and existing processors. His research addresses power and energy constraints, reliable execution at low hardware costs, achieving performance goals in diverse environments, and managing the ever-growing complexity of design verification.
