Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLucia Nunez is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Northeastern University with 12 years of experience bridging systems research and practical engineering, particularly in memory management and garbage collection. She earned a PhD from Tufts for work that reduces GC costs through application-specific behavior and created the Prioritized Garbage Collector to enable software caches by making space-time tradeoffs explicit. Her industry experience includes implementing VM allocator infrastructure in Google’s Dart VM and contributions to storage systems at Red Hat, reflecting a knack for turning research insights into production-ready tooling. Based in Medford, MA, she also focuses on leveraging tracing collectors to feed runtime data back into programs—an approach that surfaces non-obvious opportunities for optimizing data structure lifetimes.
