Giovanni Gaio

Algorithms • Parallel Computing • HPC

I'm a master's student in Computer Engineering at the University of Padova. After a semester at ETH Zurich, I am completing my master's thesis at the Huawei Zurich Research Center, where I work on high-performance optimization algorithms.

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

I'm currently seeking PhD opportunities in parallel and high-performance computing, algorithms, or related areas. If you are recruiting, please get in touch.
