Jose M Andion

José M. Andión (A Coruña, 1985) received a B.Sc. & M.Sc. (2008) and a Ph.D. (2015) in Computer Engineering, both at the University of A Coruña (UDC), Spain. He completed his education through a research visit to the Institut de Recherche en Informatique et Systèmes Aleatoires (IRISA), and to the spin-off company CAPS Entreprise, in Rennes, France.

His main research area is High Performance Computing (HPC). After first experiences with the development of a library of collective operations for the UPC language (M.Sc. Thesis graded with 10/10), his research has focused on compilation techniques during his Ph.D. Thesis (with International Mention and awarded with Sobresaliente Cum Laude). In particular, his work has addressed the automatic detection of parallelism in the source code and the generation of efficient code for heterogeneous architectures, focused on improving the locality of reference. Following this research line, he currently works in the analysis of execution traces without accessing source/binary code.

As of June 2016, Dr. Andión has published 12 papers (2 of them in JCR journals and 2 in CORE Type-A conferences). In addition, he has participated in 27 national and international R&D projects, contracts and networks (in 1 of them as PI), funded by competitive public calls or by private contracts. Part of his work has been licensed and is being exploited by the spin-off company Appentra.

Finally, he has taught more than 600 hours in the UDC. His students gave him an evaluation higher than the averages of the whole faculty and the university. He has belonged, by election, to its governing bodies in all levels.
