Ronald D. Barnes is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, where he returned in 2007 after serving as faculty at George Mason University. An OU alumnus, he earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the university in 1998 and completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois in 2005, specializing in complexity-effective microarchitecture. His educational background includes: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, University of Oklahoma (1998) Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois (2005) Dr. Barnes' primary research centers on computer architecture, with emphases on multi-core systems, reduced-complexity architectures, and compiler-architecture co-design to address power, performance, and memory latency challenges. His work integrates static/dynamic compilers with novel hardware, focusing on program analysis, application mapping to accelerators, and runtime optimization. Notably, Google Scholar data indicates additional research in psychology and literary studies , examining fiction's impact on social cognition, moral judgment, and imaginative engagement, though this appears inconsistent with his ECE departmental affiliation. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a dual trajectory: engineering-focused work in computer systems (2005-2016) and a sharp pivot toward psychological studies of fiction, morality, and narrative comprehension (2022-2024). The recent publications predominantly investigate how fictional content influences theory of mind, empathy development, and moral reasoning, with significant output in mystery fiction literature. His scientific contributions span two distinct domains without overlap in methodology or subject matter, suggesting either interdisciplinary breadth or potential data misattribution in the provided sources.
