I'm a Research Associate at the University of Manchester and lead developer of TornadoVM, an open-source framework that lets Java applications run on GPUs and other accelerators without leaving the JVM. My work sits at the intersection of managed runtimes and compilers - JIT-compiling Java bytecode into GPU code, and bringing modern hardware features like tensor cores, low-precision arithmetic and quantization into reach for Java developers.
