José Cano Reyes

NEW: I'm looking for PhD students with good programming skills (C++, Python) and background/interest in Computer Architecture, Compilers and Deep Learning.

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow and an Associate Member of ICSA in the School of Informatics at The University of Edinburgh. I collaborate with Michael O'Boyle and Amos Storkey on the H2020 BONSEYES project.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate (January 2014 - August 2018) with the CArD Group at the Institute for Computing Systems Architecture in the School of Informatics at The University of Edinburgh. I worked with Vijay Nagarajan on the EPSRC AnyScale Applications project. I joined the ARCO Research Group in the Department of Computer Achitecture at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech in March 2012, when I was a Postdoctoral Researcher until Dec 2013. I received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Universitat Politecnica de Valencia in Sept 2004 and Feb 2012, respectively. I was a member with the Networking Research Group (Sept 2005 - Feb 2012) and also with the Parallel Architectures Group (Dec 2009 - Feb 2012) in the Department of Computing Engineering at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.
