Our
Mission
Women in Computer Architecture (WICARCH) is designed to create a community for women studying and working in the field of computer architecture. Our goal is to promote women in computer architecture and increase visibility for their research and development contributions. We welcome participation from all women including students, post docs, industry researchers and developers and faculty members. To be listed in our directory, please click here.
Profiles of WICArch
The mission of this section is to profile women in computer architecture across many walks of our field, from [junior, senior] x [industry, academia].
If you would like to be profiled, would like to nominate someone to be profiled, or would like to write a profile, please let us know by wicarch-chair@acm.org
Mengjia Yan
Dr. Mengjia Yan is undoubtedly one of the most delightful people you will ever meet – smart, positive, exceedingly wise beyond her years, and the kind of person who can turn a frown upside down. She was paired with me as a mentee at ISCA 2018, but I genuinely think that it is I who have benefited from the relationship. These days, she is a new assistant professor at MIT, having recently completed her PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2019.
WICArch Directory
We actively maintain a list of women working in the field of computer architecture. The goal of this list is many-fold. First, the list services as a resource for program chairs and conference organizers to identify women to serve in key technical roles such as keynote, panels and program committees. Second, the list is designed to foster community and help women connect with other women in computer architecture. This list can be used by current and potential graduate students to find advisors and mentors. Four profiles, selected randomly, are shown below. We encourage you to browse the full directory.
Bhargavibahen
Faculty at SJSU
San Jose state university
(No URL)
I teach computer architecture and design courses at SJSU's computer engineering department. I have 13 years of academic work experience. My research interests includes processor architectures, memory subsystems, and performance evaluations.
I earned my M.Tech. (2011) and Ph.D. (2022) degrees from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in Bangalore, India, where I worked on low-power cache architecture and fine-grain data classification in cache coherence mechanisms to improve system performance. My work has appeared in computer architecture conferences (PDP) and the JPDC journal.
Angeles G. Navarro
Professor
University of Malaga
(No URL)
Angeles G. Navarro received her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Malaga (Spain) in 2000. She is a Professor in the Department of Computer Architecture at the University of Malaga. She has been a Research Visiting Scholar in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Technical University of Munich, the EPCC at the University of Edinburgh, the University of Bristol, and a Research Visitor in IBM T.J. Watson Research Center at New York and in Cray Inc at Seattle. She is the author or co-author of more than 80 papers and has served as a program committee member for several High Performance Computing related conferences. Her research interests are in parallel programming models and compilation techniques for heterogeneous and reconfigurable architectures.
Dr. Navarro has been involved in many initiatives to promote women in Computer Science. She is the co-founder of WSARTECO (Women in SARTECO), a community that is part of the Spanish Computer Architecture Scientific Society, which encourages junior and senior women working in the area to increase visibility and to develop a supporting network.

I recently graduated from Penn State University. My research at Penn State was focused on memory and storage architecture. I worked on NAND flash solid state drives on cloud and enterprise environments. I also did an internship at Memory Solution Lab in Samsung Semiconductor where I worked on open channel solutions for SSD storage architectures. I am now a Software Engineer at Google platform team working on system drivers for cloud storages.
