Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSeung Son is an Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell with 12 years of academic and research experience focused on high-performance computing, storage, computer architecture, and embedded systems. He leads research on efficient and reliable data encoding for extreme-scale simulation, lossy compression for IoT, compressive anomaly detection, and performance optimization of mobile heterogeneous systems. His career traces hands-on contributions at national labs and industry—prototyping active storage for parallel I/O, integrating PVFS with Hadoop, and building analytic platforms—bridging systems research and practical deployment. He teaches core courses in computer architecture, embedded systems, and data-intensive computing, mentoring the next generation of systems engineers. Notably, his background spans low-level runtime/compilation work (DVFS, MPICH2) to applied data-reduction techniques, giving him a rare combination of compiler/runtime, storage, and data-analysis expertise. Based in Lowell, MA, he holds a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from Penn State and brings deep experience translating large-scale research into working software.
