About

Hi! I am Gerasimos Gerogiannis, a PhD candidate in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since Gerasimos tends to be difficult to pronounce, I am mostly known by my nickname Makis. I am a member of the i-acoma computer architecture group and I am advised by Professor Josep Torrellas. My main research focus is the acceleration of irregular applications such as Graph Analytics at extreme scale. Towards that goal, I am investigating synergies between software and flexible domain-specific hardware. When I am not busy multiplying sparse matrices, I enoy engineering Machine Learning based hardware agents to increase the IPC in SPEC :).

You can find my CV here.
