Diana Marculescu is Department Chair, Cockrell Family Chair for Engineering Leadership #5, and Professor, Motorola Regents Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering #2, at the University of Texas at Austin.

Prior to joining UT Austin in December 2019, she was the David Edward Schramm Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Founding Director of the College of Engineering Center for Faculty Success (2015-2019) and has served as Associate Department Head for Academic Affairs in Electrical and Computer Engineering (2014-2018), all at Carnegie Mellon University.

She received the Dipl.Ing. degree in computer science from the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania (1991), and the Ph.D. degree in computer engineering from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA (1998). Her research interests include energy- and reliability-aware computing, hardware aware machine learning, and computing for sustainability and natural science applications.

Diana was a recipient of the National Science Foundation Faculty Career Award (2000-2004), the ACM SIGDA Technical Leadership Award (2003), the Carnegie Institute of Technology George Tallman Ladd Research Award (2004), and several best paper awards. She was an IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Distinguished Lecturer (2004-2005) and the Chair of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Design Automation (2005-2009). Diana chaired several conferences and symposia in her area and is currently an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Computers. She was selected as an ELATE Fellow (2013-2014), and is the recipient of an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (2013-2017), the Marie R. Pistilli Women in EDA Achievement Award (2014), and the Barbara Lazarus Award from Carnegie Mellon University (2018). Diana is a Fellow of ACM and IEEE.

Christina is an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Cornell and the John and Norma Balen Sesquicentennial Faculty Fellow. At Cornell she leads the SAIL group, and is also a member of the Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL). Christina works in computer architecture and computer systems, and more specifically on improving the predictability, resource efficiency, and security of large-scale datacenters.

She is the recipient of a Facebook Faculty Research Award (2017), a VMWare Research Award (2018), 3 IEEE Micro Top Picks awards (2014, 2017, 2018), a Facebook Graduate Fellowship (2014), and a Stanford Graduate Fellowship (2010-2013). Before joining Cornell, Christina received her PhD from Stanford University. She had previously received an MS also from Stanford, and a diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens.

I am Shivani Shah, completed my Bachelor of Technology majoring in Information and Communication Technology from School of Engineering and Applied Science, Ahmedabad University. Currently, I am Research Scholar at IIIT Banglore. During my graduation, I have done a few projects such as 'Implementation of 8-bit MIPS processor on FPGA' (Coding Language: Verilog, Tool: Xilinx). I did my final year project on designing ‘Reduced Hardware Hybrid Branch Predictor’ at Ahmedabad University. Control Block is one of the major parts of any computer architecture, I focused on designing hybrid hardware, a combination of 1-bit predictor and 2-bit predictor, but hardware only of 2-bit predictor which drastically optimized the hardware requirements without compromising processor speed. So right now I have done instruction-level parallelism.
