Professor Devesh Tiwari is the Associate Vice Provost for Research Computing at Northeastern University, where he provides university-level leadership and strategic vision for research computing across the global university system of Northeastern University. He is also the director of the Goodwill Computing Lab, where his research group is focused on making large-scale classical and quantum computing systems faster, cheaper, and environmentally more sustainable. Before joining academia, he worked as a research staff scientist at the Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Devesh’s research group is recognized for pioneering research and translational contributions in the areas of HPC, quantum computing, and environmentally sustainable computing — often first-of-its kind experimental demonstration, production deployment, and large-scale open-source community datasets. His research has been recognized with multiple awards including NSF CAREER Award on quantum computing, IEEE/IFIP Dependability Rising Star Award, IEEE TCSC MCR Excellence in Research Award, Facebook/Meta Faculty Research Award, Northeastern COE Faculty Fellow Award, US DOE ORNL’s Lab-wide Outstanding Research Accomplishment Award Nomination, US DOE ORNL’s NCCS Division Director Appreciation Award, etc.
His research group has produced four (14) award-winning or finalist papers at conferences such at SC, HPDC, IPDPS, DSN, DATE, HPEC, etc., with over 50 publications in all venues listed on csrankings.org. His group has a unique record of having more than two papers at the same conference edition at many conferences over the last ten years, including SC’24 (x4), SC’23 (x4), ASPLOS’24 (x3), HPDC’23 (x2), SC’22 (x2), ASPLOS’22 (x2), SC’21 (x2) FAST’20 (x3), SC’20 (x3), DSN’18 (x3), SC’17 (x2), SC’16 (x2), SC’15 (x4).
For his teaching and mentoring efforts, he was awarded the Northeastern COE Martin Essigmann Outstanding Teaching Award, and Professor of the Year by the Northeastern University IEEE student chapter and has consistently received near-perfect teaching evaluation scores. His student advisees have received numerous prestigious awards including ACM-IEEE CS George Michael Memorial HPC Award (x2), ACM SIGHPC/Intel Computational & Data Science Fellowships Award, MLSys Rising Star Award (x2), University-wide and College-wide Outstanding Graduate Student Award in Research (x3), and Cadence Research Award. His recent PhD students graduates are tenure-track faculty members at top CS departments in the country (e.g., Rice University, and University of Utah).
He is the steering committee co-chair of ACM HPDC, and was elected to be on the SC (Supercomputing) steering committee (one of the largest annual CS conferences attended by over 10,000 researchers) – flagship conferences in the HPC research area. He was recognized with the IEEE TPDS Editorial Excellence Award (twice) for his exceptional contributions to the TPDS journal as an editor. He was selected to be the Technical Program Committee Co-Chair for ACM HPDC and the overall technical Program Committee Co-Chair for IEEE IPDPS. In these roles, he has introduced several novel changes to the peer-review process which have persisted across years.
