Giulia Guidi, PhD

Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Cornell University | she/her

437 Gates Hall, Cornell University

Campus Rd, Ithaca, NY 14853

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and a Graduate Field Faculty in the Department of Computational Biology and the Center for Applied Math at Cornell. I received my PhD in Computer Science from UC Berkeley. I work in the field of high-performance computing for large-scale computational sciences (in particular, computational biology). I’m interested in the development of algorithms and software infrastructures on parallel machines to accelerate data processing without sacrificing programming productivity and to make high-performance computing more accessible.

I received the 2024 SIAG/Supercomputing Early Career Prize, the 2023 ISSNAF Young Investigator Mario Gerla Award, and the 2020 SIGHPC Computational & Data Science Fellowship. I am an Affiliate Faculty in the Applied Math and Computational Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

A recent CV.

I’m excited to teach CS 5220 again in Spring 2024. If you have any inquiries about CS 5220, please feel free to email me.

The best way to contact me is by email: gg434@cornell.edu.
