Luis Ceze

Luis Ceze, Professor, joined the Computer Science and Engineering faculty in 2007. His research focuses on the intersection of computer architecture, programming languages, machine learning (see the SAMPA and SAMPL research groups) and molecular biology. He recently started exploring using biology to make better computers (see the MISL page). Visit his other other webpage.

He has several papers selected as IEEE Micro Top Picks and CACM research Highlights. He participated in the Blue Gene, Cyclops, and PERCS projects at IBM. He is a recipient of an NSF CAREER Award, a Sloan Research Fellowship and a Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship, and the 2013 IEEE TCCA Young Computer Architect Award. He is also a member of the DARPA ISAT and MEC advisory groups.

He co-founded Corensic a decade ago, and most recently OctoML, both UW CSE spin-off companies. His research is generously supported by Microsoft, Intel, Google, Oracle, NetApp, Qualcomm, NSF, and DARPA.

He was born in São Paulo, Brazil, where it drizzles all the time, just like Seattle. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his B.Eng. and M.Eng. in Electrical Engineering from University of São Paulo, Brazil. In his "free" time, he is often seen eating and cooking.
