Biography
Beatriz Otero obtained her Ph. D in Computer Science in 2007 and her BSc in Informatic Engineer in 1996. She is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Architecture in the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Her Ph. D. thesis focuses in strategies of domain decomposition to grid environments. Her research interests include the following topics:
• Strategies of domain decomposition, data distribution and load balancing for distributed
environments.
• Software optimization using software techniques to improve application performance in
distributed memory architectures.
• Optimization of sparse algebraic operations used in numerical methods when running
on GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) platforms considering several sparse storage
formats.
