Hazem Abdelhafez is a software engineer and PhD-trained researcher specializing in energy-efficient heterogeneous computing, currently contributing to systems work at Meta. With seven years of industry experience and a decade-long research trajectory at UBC, he bridges compiler development, GPU toolchains, and performance/power modeling across supercomputers and edge devices. His background includes R&D roles at Intel and AvidBeam, a senior GPU compiler position at Qualcomm, and practical open-source contributions to MLIR/LLVM. He has translated research into patents, publications, and a best-paper workshop award, and has a proven track record of improving end-to-end latency via compiler optimizations. Based in California, he combines academic rigor with production engineering, often turning cross-disciplinary ideas (wireless systems, video analytics, compilers) into deployable solutions. An under-the-radar strength is his history of collaborating with national labs and industry partners to move prototype research into real-world impact.
