Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWim Vanderbauwhede is a computing scientist and Professor in Computing Science at the University of Glasgow with 14 years of postdoctoral experience and a background in industry R&D as an ASIC designer. He leads research on hardware acceleration and heterogeneous multicore systems, applying FPGA and GPU techniques to high-performance problems such as numerical weather simulation, greener search, CFD, and molecular dynamics. Recognised by EPSRC as a college member and invited expert on the UK’s multi-core grand challenge, he combines academic leadership with sustained international industry collaborations including partners in the US and Japan. His technical breadth spans high-level FPGA programming (OpenCL, Maxeler, Mitrion-C), GPU/multicore (OpenCL, OpenMP), MPI, and functional programming in Haskell, enabling end-to-end translation of algorithms to energy-efficient accelerators. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of turning domain-specific scientific workloads into portable, greener accelerator implementations that bridge academia and industrial deployment.
