Name: Patricia Gonzalez-Guerrero
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Biography:
Patricia is currently a postdoctoral researcher at LBNL. She received her Ph.D. (2019) and M.Sc. (2015) from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA; and her Bachelor’s Degree from the Pontifical Xavierian University (2008), Bogota, Colombia. She also worked as an ASIC Design and Verification Engineer at Hewlett-Packard, Costa Rica. Her research interests include ultra-low power VLSI digital and mixed-signal design. Her work focuses on non-conventional computing paradigms to reduce power and energy consumption, such as synchronous and asynchronous stochastic computing, computing with sigma-delta streams, and race logic. She also works with FPGAs to model computer architectures.

SRP Collaboration Topic/Title: Beyond moore computer architectures
Field or research area: Computer architecture
Please select all the topical areas that apply to your project:
Computational Science Applications (i.e., bioscience, cosmology, chemistry, environmental science, nanotechnology, climate, etc.); Computer Science (i.e., architectures, compilers/languages, networks, workflow/edge, experiment automation, containers, neuromorphic computing, programming models, operating systems, sustainable software); High-Performance Computing; Machine Learning and AI
Brief Abstract:
Project 1: FPGA-based architecture exploration. We use FPGAs to evaluate architectural features that could improve performance in scientific computing. We then can take the FPGA-tested architecture and generate ASICs. Project 2: We propose to explore temporal computing, stochastic computing, or deterministic streams for more efficient computing. Project 3: We propose to explore superconducting computing for low-power high-performance computing.
