Working environment: My research group is part of the Programming Environments lab, which belongs to the department of Computer and Information Science of Linköping University.
Our main research area is in program analysis, optimization, software composition, parallelization and code generation for parallel systems, in particular for homogeneous, heterogeneous and hybrid many-core systems but also for SIMD / instruction-level parallel and embedded architectures.
The group participates in several national and international research projects, including the EU FP7 ICT project PEPPHER.
