Samira Khan is an assistant professor at the University of Virginia. Her research focuses on Computer Architecture and Computer systems, especially building new systems by rethinking the traditional abstractions and redesigning system layers to adopt new technologies and enable future applications. Her group, Shiftlab thrives for "Paradigm Shift", and named after Thomas Kuhn's famous book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions".

My research has focused on power and energy in large-scale computing: modeling, measurement, management, and design at the system level. I'm currently Chair of CS at Sonoma State University, a campus of the California State University system. Ph.D. students who are interested in teaching at undergraduate institutions are welcome to contact me!
