Scott Mahlke

Scott Mahlke is a Professor and Associate Chair in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan. He is affiliated with the Advanced Computer Architecture Laboratory and the Software Systems Laboratory, where he leads the Compilers Creating Custom Processors (CCCP) research group.

His research focuses on compilers, computer architecture, and high-level synthesis, with particular emphasis on designing next-generation computer systems that overcome challenges in performance, power consumption, and reliability. His work bridges the gap between hardware and software through innovative compiler technology that enables customized processors and accelerators.

Mahlke's publications demonstrate a strong focus on compiler techniques for exploiting instruction-level parallelism, memory system optimization, and application-specific processor design. His research spans from fundamental compiler algorithms to practical implementations in both general-purpose and embedded systems.

• National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2003)
• Morris Wellman Faculty Development Assistant Professor (2004)
• 2006 ISCA Most Influential Paper Award
• Multiple best paper awards at major architecture conferences

As an advisor, Mahlke has chaired numerous Ph.D. dissertations and actively mentors graduate students in the CCCP group. His research is generously funded by the National Science Foundation, Gigascale Systems Research Center, ARM Ltd., Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, and other major organizations. The CCCP group maintains strong industry partnerships that facilitate the transfer of research innovations to practical applications.
