Graduate Research Position: Customizable Multi-Processor Architectures and Algorithms, Canada

This position will be based at the Okanagan campus of UBC, and will begin as soon as possible.
Successful candidates will work on one of two related projects in the area of run-time configurable computing systems. The first project involves architectures and compiler support for the run-time customization of multi-processor systems. It further involves the development of innovative (re-) configurable architectures based on FPGA and course-grained fabrics. The second project relates to the application of reconfigurable systems to various problems in biomedical processing, network security, finance, bioinformatics, or computer-aided design.
The successful candidate must have a strong background in hardware and software design with exposure to one or more of the following areas: advanced digital hardware design, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), computer architecture, software engineering, real-time systems, numerical analysis, algorithm analysis, and convex optimization.
Interested students should contact Dr. Peter Hallschmid (Electrical Engineering) at the School of Engineering at UBC (peter.hallschmid-at-ubc.ca). Please include your resume/CV with a brief description of your research experience.
