Andrew D. Hilton
I am starting my sixth year as a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. I am a student in the Architecture and Compilers Group where I am advised by Amir Roth. I expect to graduate in August of 2010. I will be searching for a job in the upcoming year, preferably an academic job, although I will also consider jobs in industry. Here is my cv.My primary research interest is in processor designs to provide high performance despite the relatively long latency of main memory. Many of my recent papers are related to this topic, as is my proposed dissertation. In addition to my architecture research, I am currently collaborating with Jeff Vaughan on a security project called "Paladin: Helping Programs Help Themselves with System Call Interposition"

Teaching:
I was selected by the Center for Teaching and Learning as one of six recipients of their Graduate Fellowship for Teaching Excellence for 2008-09.I taught the following classes:
Spring 2009: CS 173 (Introduction to Computer Science) at Ursinus College
Spring 2009: CS 274 (Computer Architecture and Organization) at Ursinus
College
Spring 2008: CSE 399 (Special Topics: C++) at
University of Pennsylvania
Spring 2007: CSE 399 (Special Topics: C++) at
University of Pennsylvania
I TAed the following classes:
Spring 2006: TA for
for Amir Roth's
CSE371
Fall 2005: TA for Milo Martin's CIS501
Spring 2000-Spring 2004: TA for CS 1322 (Second intro to
programming class, in Java) at Georgia Tech.
Other:
My WPE-II exam was on Hardware for Exploiting Data Level Parallelism in Spring 2006.This exam involves reading 3-4 papers on a topic, providing a written analysis, and giving a roughly 45 minute talk.
Before coming to Penn, I was an undergraduate and then Masters student at Georgia Tech. My advisor there was Olin Shivers.
