Marco Maggioni’s Homepage
I hold a position as Research Assistant with Prof. Tanya Berger-Wolf and with Prof. Jie Liang. My general research interests are parallel algorithms and computer architectures, with special focus on sparse algebra and combinatorial optimization on GPU. My work concerns computational biology, an applicative area that uses solutions of algorithmic problems to answer questions about biological systems. Computational biology is a fertile source for interesting computationally-intensive problems and can greatly benefit from parallelism available in modern architectures. I am focusing on proposing efficient parallel approaches for many-core architectures, working on different projects for different research groups (check the section on the left). If you are interested, you can take a look at my research summary.
Briefly about me
My name is Marco Maggioni and I’m from Italy. I’m currently a Ph.D candidate in Computer Science at University of Illinois at Chicago. If you want to know more about me, you can take a look at my résumé and at my linkedin profile.

Research
In previous semesters I have held a position as Teaching Assistant in the department of Computer Science. I was assigned to different courses, including CS466 “Advanced Computer Architecture” (Spring ‘11), CS366 “Computer Architecture II” (Spring ‘11 - Fall ‘10), CS401 “Computer Algorithms” (Spring ‘10), CS202 “Data Structure and Discrete Math” (Fall ’09) and CS102 “Introduction to Programming” (Spring ’09).
