Georgios Tzimpragos

Georgios Tzimpragos is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, College of Engineering. His research focuses on advanced hardware systems, including superconducting electronics, quantum computing, FPGA design, and energy-efficient architectures. He emphasizes independent student research leadership, with weekly one-on-one meetings and occasional lab visits. Students are expected to present progress in weekly group meetings using slide summaries. He actively supports internships, particularly during summer, and encourages teaching experiences via GSI roles.

Research interests span superconducting circuits, temporal logic applications, and hardware acceleration for machine learning. Key venues include ISCA, ASPLOS, MICRO, and PLDI. Funding for conference participation prioritizes students with accepted papers, leveraging university and external resources. Vacations are respected, with one-month advance notice required except during critical deadlines.

Publications emphasize novel circuit designs (e.g., clockless SfQ logic, superconducting memory) and tools like PyLSE for superconductor electronics. His group develops hardware instrumentation frameworks and explores low-power computing paradigms. No formal awards are listed, but contributions to Rackham-funded initiatives highlight collaborative research efforts.
