Soheil Ghiasi

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Research: Professor Ghiasi and his group explore design and optimization of embedded and programmable systems, where computing systems are developed to serve dedicated applications, possibly interfacing the two digital and physical worlds. Examples include computing systems that are integrated in cell phones, airplanes, factory control systems, network switches, and portable gaming devices. He studies different aspects of embedded systems, including embedded software, compilation for embedded platforms, reconfigurable computing, and system-level design automation. Professor Ghiasi currently works on synthesizing applications for execution on parallel platforms such as multi-core processors, customizing target parallel architectures to fit the application requirements, and processor and interconnect design space exploration in soft multi-processor platforms. He also leads efforts on developing programmable architectures for scalable and accurate monitoring of network traffic, where he works to develop just in-time hardware synthesis primitives tailored to network anomaly detection applications. On-going work aims to exploit inherent parallelism and dynamic flexibility of reconfigurable hardware to adaptively extract traffic behavior in realtime.
