Biography
Vivek Sarkar is the John P. Imlay, Jr. Dean of the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology, and a professor in the School of Computer Science where he leads the Habanero Extreme Scale Software Research Laboratory and conducts research in multiple aspects of parallel computing software including programming languages, compilers, runtime systems, and debuggers for parallel, heterogeneous, and distributed high-performance computer systems. Dr. Sarkar started his career at IBM Research after obtaining his Ph.D. from Stanford University, supervised by John Hennessy. His research projects at IBM included the PTRAN automatic parallelization system led by Fran Allen, the ASTI optimizer for IBM’s XL product compilers, the open-source Jikes Research Virtual Machine for the Java language, and the X10 programming language developed in the DARPA HPCS program. After IBM and prior to joining Georgia Tech, Dr. Sarkar was a Professor of Computer Science at Rice University and the E.D. Butcher Chair in Engineering, where he served as Chair of the Department of Computer Science. Dr. Sarkar is an ACM Fellow, an IEEE Fellow, a former member of the IBM Academy of Technology, and a recipient of the ACM-IEEE CS Ken Kennedy Award. He served on the Board of Directors of the Computing Research Association (CRA) during 2015-2022, and is a founding co-chair of the CRA-Industry committee since 2021. He has been a member of the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Scientific Computing Advisory Committee (ASCAC) since 2009, and a member of the ACM Council since 2022.
