Biography
Mohammad Alian serves as an Assistant Professor in the ECE Department at Cornell University. He completed his Ph.D. and MS degrees from UIUC (2020) and UW-Madison (2015), respectively. His research team is focused on redefining the data-delivery hierarchy of future data centers. Mohammad's research has garnered recognition, including best paper nominations at HPCA 2017 and MICRO 2018, an IEEE Micro Top Picks Honorable Mention in 2017, and an NSF CAREER award. He serves as a co-Principal Investigator and Broadening Participation Champion for the SRC/DARPA JUMP 2.0 ACE Center for Evolvable Computing, with the primary objective of revolutionizing distributed computing for the next decade.
I have several open Ph.D. positions and one Post Doc position available immediately. I also always welcome undergraduate students to join our research. Please read this if you are interested in joining ARG.

Research
Areas of interest: Computer Architecture and Systems
Vision: My research sees compute as a revolving paradigm around data delivery hierarchy (i.e., memory, storage, and network) and not the other way around, which is the conventional view. Check out our Research Group webpage to understand more about our research.
