Aydın Buluç is a Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) in the Applied Mathematics and Computational Research Division and an Adjunct Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) department at UC Berkeley. At LBNL, he leads the Performance and Algorithms group, and at UC Berkeley, he is part of the SLICE lab. He also serves as the Director of Sparsitute, a DOE Mathematical Multifaceted Integrated Capability Center (MMICC) focused on sparse computations. Dr. Buluç's research focuses on high-performance graph analysis, parallel sparse matrix computations, and communication-avoiding algorithms with applications in machine learning and computational genomics. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications in scientific computing, particularly in bioinformatics and large-scale data analysis. He has made significant contributions to the development of parallel algorithms for sparse linear algebra operations, which form the foundation for many graph analytics frameworks. His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward optimizing sparse computations for modern hardware architectures, particularly GPUs and distributed systems. The research spans theoretical algorithm design, practical implementation challenges, and applications in computational biology. A notable pattern is the increasing focus on communication-avoiding techniques for distributed graph neural network training and large-scale genomic analysis. Dr. Buluç has been actively involved in numerous professional activities, serving on program committees for major conferences including EuroSys (2026), ALENEX (2019, 2026), SPAA (2025), and IPDPS (2013-2019, 2021-2022, 2025). He has also served on the SIAM George Pólya Prize for Mathematical Exposition Selection Committee (2025) and as Founding Associate Editor for ACM Transactions on Parallel Computing (2013-2020). He leads the PASSION Lab research group, which focuses on parallel algorithms and systems for irregular numerical workloads. The lab develops several important open-source software packages including Combinatorial BLAS, HipMCL, PASTIS, CAGNET, and BELLA. These tools address challenges in large-scale graph analysis, protein sequence alignment, and distributed machine learning.
