Lois Orosa

I’m a senior researcher holding a Ramón y Cajal research contract, and the Scientific Director of the Galicia Supercomputing Center (CESGA). My research is on Computer Architecture, systems and security. My work focuses on memory systems, hardware reliability and security, efficient AI accelerators, microarchitecture, storage systems and processing in memory.

I earned my PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) under the supervision of Prof. Elisardo Antelo and Prof. Javier Bruguera. During my PhD, I visited the I-ACOMA research group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, led by Prof. Josep Torrellas. I also acquired industry experience at IBM R&D Labs in Haifa (with Olga Golovanevsky, Marina Biberstein, and Bilha Mendelson) and Recore Systems in Enschede (Netherlands). After my PhD, I continued my research on computer architecture with several groups in industry and academia, including Universidade Nova de Lisboa with Prof. Joao Lourenco, the LSC group at Unicamp with Prof. Rodolfo Azevedo, and Xilinx Research Labs in Dublin with Michaela Blott and Yaman Umuroglu. I was a senior researcher for several years at the SAFARI research group at ETH Zürich, led by Prof. Onur Mutlu. In 2022 I joined CESGA as Director.

I’m creating a new Computer Architecture group, Work with me!
