Biography

Tobias Grosser is an Associate Professor in Compiler Design at the University of Cambridge. His research primarily focuses on compilation, programming language design, and effective performance programming. He is interested in how compilers can advance understanding of critical societal issues, such as climate change, and how machine learning can assist in automating compiler design for improved performance. Grosser explores the potential for compilers to revolutionize hardware design, including application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and central processing units (CPUs). He emphasizes the role of formal verification in increasing confidence in systems like self-driving cars and advocates for an interactive performance programming experience for developers. Previously, he was affiliated with the University of Edinburgh, ETH Zurich, and has held prestigious fellowships, including the Google Ph.D. Fellowship. He is actively involved in the open-source community and promotes diversity within the field.
