Dr. Michel A. Kinsy Joins the CIS Department
Dr. Michel A. Kinsy joined the Computer and Information Science Department in August, 2014. Michel received his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2013. His doctoral work is one of the first to develop algorithms and computer hardware techniques to emulate and control large-scale power systems at the microsecond resolution. Part of this work is currently being further developed and commercialized through an MIT spin-off. From 2013 to 2014, Dr. Kinsy was Technical Staff at the Lincoln Laboratory working on advanced computer architecture concepts: Photonically optimized microprocessors, high-performance computer architecture support for advanced analytics, and next-generation secure processors.
His research interests include computer architecture with particular emphasis on self-aware, adaptive, high-performance many-core architectures, computer hardware security, very large scale integration (VLSI) systems design, intelligent network-on-chip (NoC), cyber-physical systems (CPS), reconfigurable hardware systems, large-scale distributed systems, and hard real-time embedded systems. He is particularly interested in the application of machine learning techniques to hardware execution.
Dr. Kinsy is an MIT Presidential Fellow and holds an M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, a B.S.E. in Computer Systems Engineering and a B.S. in Computer Science from Arizona State University. Michel enjoys interacting with students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. He particularly values introducing students to the fascinating world of computer architecture and design. His hope is that through computer science and engineering many of these students come to discover a bigger, larger, and culturally richer world, a world that is waiting for them to contribute in their own singular way.
