Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrema Soundararajan is a Research Scientist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham with nine years of experience in high-performance and parallel computing, specializing in OpenMP, MPI, and CUDA. Her work spans compiler- and source-to-source optimizations, empirical evaluation of auto-parallelizers, and practical performance tuning for exascale proxy applications using persistent and partitioned MPI communications. She earned a PhD in High Performance Computing and has enhanced polyhedral auto-parallelizers like Pluto, translating research insights into tools and methods that improve real-world parallelism. Previously she developed machine-learning–based analytical models and led postdoctoral projects at IIT Kanpur, demonstrating a rare blend of deep compiler knowledge and hands-on systems experimentation. Based in Birmingham, she combines rigorous empirical methods with tool development to push the boundaries of scalable program transformation and performance analysis.
