Ayse Coskun

Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Boston University

Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Boston University I am currently a full professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Boston University (BU). I received my PhD degree from the Computer Science and Engineering Department at University of California San Diego in 2009. My research interests are broadly in design automation, computer architecture, and computer systems, particularly focusing on energy efficiency, thermal challenges, and using ML-powered analytics for system management. I received the Ernest Kuh Early Career Award in 2017 for my contributions to energy-efficient system-level design and an IBM Faculty Award in 2020 for my work on applying AI-based methods for DevSecOps. Current research directions include (1) design of future energy-efficient computer systems using new integration technologies (e.g., 3D-stacking, silicon photonic networks-on-chip, emerging on-chip cooling), (2) applied machine learning for improving cloud and HPC performance, and (3) sustainability in data centers via integration into smart grid programs. Prior to joining BU, I worked at Sun Microsystems (now Oracle), San Diego. My recent industry partnerships include projects with the Red Hat Collaboratory at BU, IBM Research, Intel, AMD, Oracle, and others. I direct the Center for Information and Systems Engineering (CISE) and serve in the Steering Committee of the Hariri Institute of Computing at BU. I am a core faculty member of the BU Institute for Global Sustainability (IGS). I also serve as the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Computer Aided Design.
