Luca Carloni
Luca P. Carloni is a professor and the chair of Columbia University’s Computer Science Department in New York City. He has been at Columbia since 2004 and is a leading expert in electronic computer design. His research covers system-on-chip platforms, heterogeneous computing, system-level design, networks-on-chip, and embedded systems. He created Embedded Scalable Platforms (ESP), an open-source research platform to help design and program complex heterogeneous chips.
Carloni has received many honors, including an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (2008), an NSF CAREER Award (2006), an ONR Young Investigator Award (2010), and IEEE Fellow (2017). He has published more than 180 papers and has won Best Paper awards at HPEC (2007), DATE (2012), CloudCom (2012), and MLCAD (2020). His Latency-Insensitive Design work was recognized in the Best of ICCAD: 20 Years of Excellence (2003).
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Bologna in 1995 and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in 2004, supervised by Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli. He started at Columbia as an assistant professor, was promoted to associate professor in 2009, and became a full professor in 2017. He is currently the department chair.
Carloni serves as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on CAD of ICs and Systems, and ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems. He has helped run many conferences, including DAC, DATE, NOCS, and ESWeek. He leads the System-Level Design Group, works on the DECADE project, and is part of Columbia’s Data Science Institute.
