Faculty

Luis Ceze joined the Allen School faculty in 2007. His research focuses on the intersection of computer architecture, programming languages, machine learning (SAMPA and SAMPL research groups) and molecular biology to make better computers (Molecular Information Systems Lab).

Ceze has several papers selected as IEEE Micro Top Picks and CACM research Highlights. He participated in the Blue Gene, Cyclops, and PERCS projects at IBM. He is a recipient of an NSF CAREER Award, a Sloan Research Fellowship and a Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship, and the 2013 IEEE TCCA Young Computer Architect Award. He is also a member of the DARPA ISAT and MEC advisory groups.

He co-founded Corensic a decade ago, and most recently OctoML, both Allen School spinoff companies. His research is generously supported by Microsoft, Intel, Google, Oracle, NetApp, Qualcomm, NSF, and DARPA.

Ceze was born in São Paulo, Brazil, where it drizzles all the time, just like Seattle. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his B.Eng. and M.Eng. in Electrical Engineering from University of São Paulo, Brazil. In his “free” time, he is often seen eating and cooking.
