We are happy to welcome João Cardoso to the CC chair! João obtained his bachelors (2016) and masters (2019) degrees in computer engineering and computer science from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), in Brasil. Since then, he has been working with Prof. Luigi Carro at UFRGS as a PhD student on low-precision training of neural networks with emerging computing platforms. We are looking forward to working with João and on possible collaboration with Prof. Luigi Carro! In our group, João will be joining the large-scale SCADS.AI project. In this context, he will investigate software optimization methodologies for emerging architectures and novel algorithms in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Welcome to the team!
