Marina Zapater is an Associate Professor at HES-SO and a long-standing research associate with EPFL’s Embedded Systems Laboratory, bringing 13 years of experience at the intersection of energy-aware computing, thermal optimization, and sustainable data-center design. Her PhD (Cum Laude) focused on proactive and reactive thermal-aware optimizations to reduce data centers’ environmental impact, and she has sustained international collaborations including multi-year visits to Boston University and guest roles at Complutense University and EPFL. She bridges rigorous academic research with applied engineering, mentoring students and publishing extensively (Google Scholar profile available) while contributing to interdisciplinary teams across GreenLSI, ArTeCS, and CCS. Notably, her work combines deep hardware/software co-design insights with practical energy-efficiency strategies that inform both lab prototypes and operational systems.
