Vipin Kumar Kukkala received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Colorado State University, USA, in 2022, and his Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech.) degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India, in 2013. He is currently working as a Senior High-Performance Compute Architect at NVIDIA. In the past, he worked as a graduate research assistant at Embedded, High Performance, and Intelligent Computing (EPIC) Laboratory and as a research associate intern at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HP Labs). His research interests include the design of next-generation automotive networks, security in cyber-physical systems, machine learning, and the design of large-scale heterogeneous systems. He has published multiple research papers (journals: 6, conferences: 6, total: 12) in peer-reviewed journals including ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS), IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of IntegratedCircuits and Systems (TCAD), IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (TVT), ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES), IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine (CEM), and various conferences including IEEE/ACM Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC), IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Network-on-Chip (NOCS), IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (TEC), IEEE/ACM Programming Environments for Heterogeneous Computing (PEHC), and IFAC Workshop on Engine and Powertrain Control, Simulation and Modeling. He also contributed to two book chapters and co-authored a U.S. Patent.Sudeep Pasricha is a Walter Scott Jr. College of Engineering Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Department of Computer Science, and the Department of Systems Engineering at Colorado State University. He is Director of the Embedded, High Performance, and Intelligent Computing (EPIC) Laboratory and the Chair of Computer Engineering. Prof. Pasricha received the B.E. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Delhi Institute of Technology, India, in 2000, and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Irvine in 2008. He has received funding for his research from various sponsors such as the NSF, SRC, AFOSR, ORNL, DoD, Fiat-Chrysler, HPE, and NASA. He has co-authored multiple books and published more than 250 research articles in peer-reviewed conferences and journals. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE (Computer Society) and Distinguished Member of the ACM. Prof. Pasricha’s research broadly focuses on software algorithms, hardware architectures, and hardware-software co-design for energy-efficient, fault-tolerant, real-time, and secure computing. These efforts target multi-scale computing platforms, including embedded and Internet of Things (IoT) systems, cyber-physical systems, mobile devices, and datacenters. He has received 16 Best Paper Awards and Nominations at various IEEE and ACM conferences, including at DAC, ASPDAC, NOCS, GLSVLSI, SLIP, AICCSA, and ISQED. Other notable awards include: the 2022 ACM Distinguished Speaker selection, the 2019 George T. Abell Outstanding Research Faculty Award, the 2016-2018 University Distinguished Monfort Professorship, 2016-2019 Walter Scott Jr. College of Engineering Rockwell-Anderson Professorship, 2018 IEEE-CS/TCVLSI mid-career research Achievement Award, the 2015 IEEE/TCSC Award for Excellence for a mid-career researcher, the 2014 George T. Abell Outstanding Mid-career Faculty Award, and the 2013 AFOSR Young Investigator Award. He is currently the Vice Chair of ACM SIGDA and a Senior Associate Editor for the ACM Journal of Emerging Technologies in Computing (JETC). He is an Associate Editor for multiple other IEEE and ACM journals. He has been an Organizing Committee Member of several IEEE/ACM conferences, and has also served as General Chair and Program Chair for many of these conferences. He holds an affiliatefaculty member position at the Center for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems at UC Irvine. He has also received multiple awards for professional service, including the 2019 ACM SIGDA Distinguished Service Award, the 2015 ACM SIGDA Service Award, and the 2012 ACM SIGDA Technical Leadership Award.
