Presenter

Nosayba El-Sayed is a postdoctoral associate at CSAIL, MIT, hosted partially by QCRI through a CSAIL-QCRI joint postdoctoral program. Nosayba completed her PhD at the University of Toronto, where she focused on conducting large-scale field-data analysis for the purpose of optimizing the reliability and energy-efficiency of HPC systems. In her postdoctoral research, Nosayba investigates how to exploit features available in modern hardware to optimize the performance of shared clusters, using rigorous data-analytical techniques. Nosayba's work has won an ACM Sigmetrics/Performance best paper award and qualified her to become a recipient of several graduate scholarships and awards including the Beatrice Worsley Graduate Scholarship which recognizes distinguished women in Computer Science.
