Reza Salkhordeh

Reza Salkhordeh is a Lecturer and Postdoctoral Researcher at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, where he leads the Efficient Computing and Storage Group. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology (2018) and has been affiliated with Ferdowsi University of Mashhad and Sharif University of Technology. His research focuses on operating systems, storage systems, and non-volatile memory technologies, with a particular emphasis on high-performance computing and I/O optimization. He has taught courses such as Storage Systems and Advanced Topics in Operating Systems since 2020.

His academic journey includes a B.Sc. from Ferdowsi University (2011), M.Sc. and Ph.D. from Sharif University (2013, 2018). He has held roles such as Technical Lead for the High-Performance Data Storage System (HPDS) project in Tehran, Iran, and has mentored 4 M.Sc. and 6 B.Sc. students. His work spans patented technologies like Reconfigurable Cache Architectures and Load Balancers for I/O caching systems.

Research interests include heterogeneous memory management, storage system design, and optimizing I/O performance in distributed environments. His recent publications address challenges in NVMM utilization, garbage collection in SSDs, and I/O tracing for HPC systems. He is actively involved in conference committees (e.g., FAST, ARCS, SC) and has reviewed for top journals like IEEE TPDS and ACM Transactions on Storage.

Notable recognitions include membership in Iran’s National Elites Foundation (2012–2015) and top rankings in national exams (3rd in PhD, 35th in MSc). His contributions to storage systems have advanced enterprise-grade architectures and decentralized file systems, with a focus on practical implementations for modern computing challenges.
