Per4ML Laboratory

​

Tanzima is the director of the Per4ML laboratory. Per4ML's research mission is to enable rapid scientific discoveries with effective cyberinfrastructure utilization. The involved tasks include performance modeling, analysis, and optimization for scientific and deep learning applications running on heterogeneous High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Specifically, Per4ML works in the cross-cutting field of data science for HPC by addressing exciting problems in computer systems, machine learning, software development, and visualization. Per4ML has multiple RA and Postdoc positions available for driven and self-motivated individuals interested in developing deep learning techniques for decision-making and applying them to HPC and systems. Please send your CV demonstrating your experience in leveraging ML. Self-motivated undergraduate students can also get involved in research to bolster their resumes.
