He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of California Riverside in 2005. While his research interest spans broadly computer architecture and network systems, Prof. Luo’s current research focuses on heterogeneous architecture and systems, software defined networks and deep learning. He has served on the program committee of numerous international conferences and as a guest editor and referee of premier journals. At UMass Lowell, he directs the Laboratory of Advanced Computing and Networking Systems, which has been supported by National Science Foundation, Intel, Raytheon/BBN, Netronome, Xilinx and Altera. Prof. Luo’s team has released several open source projects with significant impacts, including the first network processor based OpenFlow switch and a cycle-accurate simulator of multicore network processors.
