Prof. Lipasti is an established expert in the design of high-performance, low-power, and reliable processor cores; networks-on-chip for many-core processors; and fundamentally new, biologically-inspired models of computation. He was named an IEEE Fellow (class of 2013) “for contributions to the microarchitecture and design of high-performance microprocessors and computer systems.” He has published over 100 refereed papers, advised 17 Ph.D. theses to completion, and is a charter member of the ISCA, MICRO, and HPCA Halls of Fame. In 2012, he co-founded Thalchemy Corp, a startup company that is developing novel algorithms and accelerators to enable ultra low-power continuous sensory processing in smartphones and other battery-operated devices. He earned his BS in Computer Engineering from Valparaiso University in 1991, his M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 1992, followed by his Ph.D. in 1997. His graduate work was supervised by Prof. John Paul Shen.
