Bio:
Dan Alistarh is currently an Assistant Professor at IST Austria, and the Machine Learning research lead at Neural Magic, Inc.. Previously, he was affiliated with ETH Zurich, Microsoft Research, and MIT. He received his PhD from the EPFL, under the guidance of Prof. Rachid Guerraoui. His research focuses on distributed algorithms and concurrent data structures, and spans from algorithms and lower bounds to practical implementations. Recently, his focus has been on efficient algorithms for machine learning, for which he has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant. He was a co-recipient of best paper awards at OPODIS19 and ACM PPoPP20, and a keynote speaker at DISC 2019.
