Lucas Wanner
I am a professor in the Institute of Computing, University of Campinas (Unicamp). My research focuses on the intersection of hardware and software systems, particularly energy and performance optimization, runtime systems for embedded applications, and specialized hardware designs.
I teach courses on energy-efficient computing, computer architecture, digital systems design, and distributed systems. Course materials are available to Unicamp students through Google Classroom.
I am a member of the Computer Systems Laboratory. My research group studies performance and energy scaling through software and hardware optimization, domain-specific accelerators, and approximate computing. My publications are listed on Google Scholar.
