Presenter

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of California, Davis, working with Prof. John Owens. I received my master's degree in Computer Science from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. My research interests include general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), distributed computing, parallel computing, asynchronous programming, and graph processing. I am especially interested in the intersection of these areas. Due to the increasingly widespread use of many-core architectures, like GPUs, I am interested in making these devices easier to program as well as extracting the most performance from those devices, both for single or distributed systems.
