Regardless of the title, the focus of the research has been on methods and tools to make things better, such as, more energy-efficient and reliable, or enable others (mostly, designers and architects) to do things better. To the extent a problem area requires it, there is a focus on creating usable artifacts or at least find the limits on what is achievable in practice. His past contributions include SystemC modeling and SPARK parallelizing high-level synthesis, both of which have been incorporated into industrial practice. His publications and patents cover various aspects of embedded systems design, design automation, clock design, data-path synthesis, system-on-chip modeling, and dynamic power management. He was a Lead or a Co-Lead of DARPA-sponsored efforts under the data-intensive systems and power-aware computing and communications programs on the role of adaptation in energy-efficient system architectures. His ongoing projects are focused on efficient compositional synthesis of system-chips, microelectronic variability, accurate timing, and synchronization for the integrated systems. His current research interests include embedded,cyber-physical systems, and Internet-of-Things.

Dr. Gupta was a recipient of the Best Demonstration Paper Award at ACM BuildSys’16, the Best Paper Award at IEEE/ACM DCOSS’08, and the Best Demonstration Award at IEEE/ACM IPSN/SPOTS’05 with and his students. He is a fellow of the ACM.

Biography

Sudeep Pasricha is a Monfort Professor and Rockwell-Anderson Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Computer Science at Colorado State University, where he is also the Chair of Computer Engineering and Director of the Embedded Systems and High-Performance Computing (EPiC) Laboratory. His research interests are broadly in the areas of energy-efficient, fault-resilient, and secure computing, for platforms encompassing embedded systems (cyber-physical systems), mobile computing (internet-of-things), and high-performance computing (datacenters, supercomputers). More specific topics of interest include: 1) on-chip and chip-to-chip network design, 2) memory architecture design, 3) design with emerging technologies, e.g., silicon photonics, 4) middleware and embedded software design, 5) algorithms for multi-objective optimization, 6) real-time system design, and 7) VLSI design, and 8) resource allocation/scheduling techniques. He also works on applications of technology to automotive systems (he is the ECE faculty lead for the controls and ADAS design activities on the Ecocar3 project, and also involved with powertrain control software development for a leading automotive company), robotics, therapy, mobile sensing, smart infrastructure, and workflow automation. Details of ongoing and past research projects can be found here.
