Olivia Hsu

PhD Student Department of Computer Science Stanford University Office: 494 Gates owhsu [at] stanford [dot] edu Curriculum Vitae

I am a computer science PhD student at Stanford University advised by Professor Kunle Olukotun and Professor Fredrik Kjolstad. I currently work on mapping sparse tensor expressions to domain-specific hardware, architectures, and accelerators through the taco compiler. My research interests also broadly include computer architecture, computer and programming systems, compilers, programming models and languages, and digital circuits/VLSI.

I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2019 with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). At Berkeley, I was fortunate enough to be advised by Professor Vladimir Stojanovic and work with Panagiotis Zarkos on novel applications of silicon-photonics.
