We welcome a new research assistant at the Chair for Compiler Construction: Alex Brauckmann. Alex just received his Diploma degree on Computer Science from the TU Dresden. He has plenty of experience as software engineer and in large open source projects. Alex has worked at the CC chair as student research assistant and did his final thesis with us, resulting in a high-profile international publication at the  ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Compiler Construction (CC). At the CC Chair, Alex will continue to work on machine learning for compilers, building representation models of code and proposing novel predictive compiler heuristics among others. We are happy to have Alex with us and look forward to working with him in the next years.
