BIO
Ivan Gonzalez received the Computer Engineering degree (Ms.C.) in 2000 and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering in 2006, both from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (UAM), Spain. From October 2002 to October 2006 he was Teaching Assistant at the Computer Engineering Department of UAM. From November 2006 he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the High Performance Computing Laboratory, Electrical & Computer Engineering Department, The George Washington University. His main research interests are FPGA-based reconfigurable computing applications, with a special focus on dynamic partial reconfiguration and embedded systems. Other interests include high performance reconfigurable computing, robotics and experimental support of C.S. and E.E. education on Internet.
- PhD. Thesis: Dynamically Reconfigurable Coprocessors in FPGA-based Embedded Systems. European PhD. Mention.
TEACHING
An embedded system is a special-purpose system in which the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. Unlike a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer, an embedded system performs one or a few pre-defined tasks, usually with very specific requirements. Since the system is dedicated to specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the product. This is a special topic course in Computer Architecture and Design.
