I work as a performance architect in the CPU design team at Apple. Prior to joining Apple, I have completed my PhD in computer architecture from University of Texas at Austin. My research interests include computer architecture and benchmarking, hardware/software co-design, machine learning accelerators.

Lizy Kurian John is B. N. Gafford Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering at UT Austin. She received her Ph. D in Computer Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University. Her research interests include workload characterization, performance evaluation, architectures with emerging memory technologies such as die-stacked DRAM, and high performance processor architectures for emerging workloads. She is recipient of NSF CAREER award, UT Austin Engineering Foundation Faculty Award, Halliburton, Brown and Root Engineering Foundation Young Faculty Award 2001, University of Texas Alumni Association (Texas Exes) Teaching Award 2004, The Pennsylvania State University Outstanding Engineering Alumnus 2011, etc. She has coauthored a book on Digital Systems Design using VHDL (Cengage Publishers, 2007, 2017), a book on Digital Systems Design using Verilog (Cengage Publishers, 2014) and has edited 4 books including a book on Computer Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking. She is in ISCA and HPCA Hall of Fame, holds 10 US patents and is a Fellow of IEEE.

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 am an incoming Assistant Professor in the ECE department of Princeton University. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Stanford Medicine with Prof. Euan Ashley. I completed my Ph.D. in the Electrical Engineering department at Stanford University where I was advised by Prof. Mark Horowitz. I conduct research at the intersection of computer architecture and systems, and, computational genomics for clinical and evolutionary applications.

Previously, I received a Dual Degree (B. Tech. and M. Tech.) in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 2017 along with the Akshay Dhoke Memorial Award.

I am a trained classical dancer with a Master's in Dance in Bharat Natyam from the Art Society, Mumbai.
