Giovanni Gaio

Algorithms • Parallel Computing • HPC

I am a master's student in Computer Engineering at the University of Padova, nearing the end of my studies. I am now working on my master's thesis at Computing Systems Laboratory of Huawei Research in Zurich, developing high-performance algorithms under the supervision of Denis Jelovina. After my graduation, I will start my PhD under the supervision of prof. Torsten Hoefler at ETH Zurich, as part of Scalable Parallel Computing Laboratory.

I focus on algorithms and parallel/high-performance computing, with an emphasis on techniques for fast, efficient computation.

If you have any interesting proposal, thought or question, don't hesitate to contact me at the email below!
