I'm a second year PhD student at the Institute for Computing Systems Architecture (ICSA) of the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Björn Franke. I'm a member of the Compiler and ARchitecture Design group (CARD) of ICSA and a student member of the European Network of Excellence on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation (HiPEAC).

Research

My research focuses on statistical approaches to retargetable and adaptive compiler directed optimisation and parallelisation for network processors.

About Me

I've started my PhD at the University of Edinburgh in November 2007. Before that I've been working for five years in Zurich, Switzerland, first as a mobile software developer at LogObject AG for three years and then for two years at Esmertec AG where I was involved in the development of the Jbed Java compilers and virtual machine.
I graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) in Zurich with a degree in computer science in 2002.
