I am currently a PhD student and research assistant at the Chair of Computer Science 10 - System Simulation.

I did part of my masters in the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg. This included attending lectures and working as a research assistant in the Chair of Computer Science 10 - Systemsimulation Main activites and experiences: - Advanced programming with C++ - Computer graphics - GPU programming - Code optimization - Distributed-memory parallelization with MPI - Development of a domain-specific library for fast and scalable molecular dynamics simulations

I studied code generation tools and techniques to provide fast and portable implementations. The dissertation was developed towards an extension in the Halide DSL to improve its profiling capabilities. Main activities and experiences: - Studied compiler construction and optimization techniques - Parallel programming - Performance analysis with PAPI and Likwid - Optimization techniques for image processing - Reverse engineering to understand undocumented parts of the Halide DSL

Apart from the course programme, I studied domain-specific languages approaches to generate optimal code for heterogeneous hardware (CPU/GPU), code optimization and performance analysis. I wrote my monograph on this subject and developed a simple image processing domain-specific library using the AnyDSL framework to provide a comparison study with standard approaches (Intel OpenCV)
