Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Bispo is an assistant professor and researcher with 11 years of experience building practical tooling that spans from everyday productivity apps to source-to-source compilers and hardware-synthesizable code generators. He led development of Clava, a C/C++ source-to-source transformation tool used in the ANTAREX project for auto-tuning and adaptivity in energy-efficient HPC, and previously produced a MATLAB-to-C compiler aimed at embedded and hardware synthesis. João prioritizes accessibility and maintainability, favoring readable, extensible code and engineering best practices to avoid unnecessary work. Comfortable across the stack—from high-level MATLAB and Java to C, RISC-like assembly and VHDL—he often produces tools whose output is compilable source code for downstream toolchains. Based in Porto, he combines academic rigour (PhD in computer science, hardware and compilers) with a pragmatic focus on delivering tools that let domain experts work more effectively. A less obvious strength is his track record of turning research prototypes into openly available, documented tools and online demos that lower the barrier to adoption.
