I teach at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto where I have the priviledge to work with a team of very talented graduate students. I have also taught at the Northwestern University, USA, the University of Athens, Greece, the Hellenic Open University, Greece and as a invited professor at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. I received a Bachelors and a Master's Degree from the University of Crete, Greece and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

My research interests lie primarily in the design of performance-, energy-, and/or cost-optimized computing engines for various applications domains. Most of my work thus far has been on high-performance general-purpose systems.My current work emphasizes highly-specialized computing engines for Deep Learning. I will also be serving as the Director of the newly formed National Sciences and Engineering Research Council Strategic Partnership Network on Machine Learning Hardware Acceleration (NSERC COHESA), a partnership of 19 Researchers across 7 Universities involving 8 Industrial Partners.

For the work I have done with my students and collaborators, I have been awarded the ACM SIGARCH Maurice Wilkes mid-career award, a National Research Foundation CAREER Award, two IBM Faculty Partnership awards, a Semiconductor Research Innovation award, an IEEE Top Picks in Computer Architecture Research, and a MICRO conference Hall of Fame award. I have served as the Program Chair for the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Microarchitecture and the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software.
