I am (potentially) looking for postdoctoral researchers to work in my research group, SAFARI. Please email me your CV, research statement, and cover letter, if you are interested. You might also want to read this.

Brief Bio

I am an Assistant Professor of ECE (and, by courtesy, CS) at Carnegie Mellon University. My research interests are in computer architecture and systems, especially in the interactions between languages, operating systems, compilers, and microarchitecture. I was previously a researcher in the Computer Architecture Group at Microsoft Research (from 2006 to 2009) and a Research Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin (from 2007 to 2009). Before that, I was a member of the HPS Research Group at the University of Texas at Austin, where I received my PhD in 2006. My PhD dissertation was on efficient runahead execution processors. I received my BS degrees in computer engineering and psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2000 and my MS degree in electrical and computer engineering from UT-Austin in 2002. I worked at Intel Corporation during the summers of 2001-2003 and at Advanced Micro Devices during the summers of 2004-2005. I was a recipient of the UT-Austin Continuing Fellowship in 2003, Intel PhD fellowship in 2004, University of Texas George H. Mitchell Award for Excellence in Graduate Research in 2005, Microsoft Gold Star Award in 2008, NSF CAREER Award in 2010, ASPLOS 2010 Best Paper Award, VTS 2010 Best Paper Award, 2011 IEEE Computer Society TCCA Young Computer Architect Award, and several "computer architecture top pick" paper awards by the IEEE Micro magazine.

For more information, please refer to my publications by date and research topic, talks, recent research news, and my research group, SAFARI.

For Prospective Students and Trainees

I am looking for very bright, creative, self-motivated, and very hardworking students and postdoctoral researchers who are interested in performing insightful cutting-edge research in computer architecture, interdisciplinary research in hardware/software interaction (e.g., interaction of operating systems, languages, compilers, and circuits with computer architecture), and fault tolerance. If you are interested in these and related research areas, please review my research topics and skim through research papers. You can contact me via email (onur@cmu.edu) to make an appointment to discuss the possibility of working with me or stop by my office. Due to the large volume of emails I receive, I cannot guarantee responses to non-CMU students.

If you would like to do a summer internship with me, please apply here and email me.
