Her research has contributed to parallel programming models for multicore and distributed computing. The research group focuses on PyCOMPSs/COMPSs, a parallel task-based programming distributed computing framework, and its application to developing large heterogeneous workflows that combine HPC, Big Data, and Machine Learning. The group is also doing research around the dislib, a parallel machine learning library parallelized with PyCOMPSs. Dr Badia has published nearly 200 papers on her research topics in international conferences and journals. She has been very active in projects funded by the European Commission and in contracts with industry. She has bee the PI of the EuroHPC project eFlows4HPC.
