Chamika Sudusinghe

Chamika is a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), affiliated with the Accelerate Data Intensive Applications through Programming Languages Techniques (ADAPT) research group.

Previously I've worked at WSO2, Aegis Studio, and LiveRoom. I did my Bachelor's in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, where I was advised by Sapumal Ahangama. I've received the Lance Stafford Larson Award, the Upsilon Pi Epsilon Honor Society Award, the Richard E. Merwin Scholarship, and the ICT Student of the Year Award 2022 (Undergraduate).

Research

I'm interested in I'll be delving into the captivating realm of developing data-driven approaches to accelerate systems (ML for Systems) and, conversely, designing high performance systems that accelerate complex machine learning workloads (Systems for ML). Representative papers are highlighted.
