I am a researcher at Microsoft Research in Silicon Valley. I used to be a post-doc and graduate student in the Computer Science Department of Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. I worked in the areas of compilers, computer architecture, reconfigurable hardware, high-level synthesis. My name - Mihai Budiu - is pronounced like Me-HI Boo-DE-oo. |
I am currently a researcher in the Microsoft Research Silicon Valley Lab.
I have obtained my Ph.D. from CMU in December 2003, and I have been there a post-doc for a few months. My thesis research was on compilers for spatial computation, which translate high-level language programs into hardware dataflow machines implemented by asynchronous circuits. This was part of the Phoenix project. My advisor was Seth Goldstein.
Previously I wrote the DIL compiler for the CMU PipeRench reconfigurable hardware project. The project produced a complete CAD suite and a silicon implementation of the only known virtualizable hardware device. The chip has been licensed and is being commercialized by a Silicon Valley start-up.
I was twice summer research intern at Bell Labs. I spent one year in the Ph.D. program of the Computer Science Department of Cornell University. I received my B.S. from the Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania. I am an alumnus of the the Bucharest "Liceul de Informatica" (Informatics High-school).
A rather detailed curriculum vitae. These are the courses I took during grad school.
I am married to Raluca. She got her Ph.D. in computer science from CMU in 2001, now she works at PARC. Most of our energy is now spent trying to please Matei.
