José F. Martínez holds the Lee Teng-hui Professorship of Engineering at Cornell University's College of Engineering, where he leads research in computer architecture and systems. His roles include Vice Chair of ACM SIGARCH, IEEE Fellow, and past leadership roles in ISCA, MICRO, and IEEE Computer Society journals. He has received prestigious awards such as the NSF CAREER Award, IBM/Qualcomm Faculty Awards, and multiple teaching accolades including Tau Beta Pi Professor of the Year (2011). Education: Licenciado en Informática de Sistemas (1996), Universidad Politécnica de Valencia M.S. (1999) and Ph.D. (2002) in Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign His research focuses on computer architecture , including microprocessors, multiprocessors, memory subsystems, embedded systems, and processing-in-memory (PIM) innovations. He co-leads the DARPA/SRC ACE Center for Evolvable Computing and NSF's CROPPS Center, and previously co-founded Cornell's Institute for Digital Agriculture (CIDA). His work bridges hardware-software co-design and sustainable computing. Key Contributions: Advancing energy-efficient multiprocessor architectures Developing PIM frameworks like PUMICE and Membrane Market-based resource allocation systems (e.g., XChange, ReBudget) His advising spans over 15 graduate students and has guided Merrill Presidential Scholars. Current research explores evolvable computing paradigms and AI hardware acceleration, reflecting his dual focus on foundational architecture and applied systems innovation.
