Professor Timothy Jones is currently Professor of Computer Architecture and Compilation at the Department of Computer Science and Technology. He is also a Fellow and Director of Studies for Computer Science at Gonville and Caius College.
His research focuses on extracting the many different forms of parallelism from applications to increase performance and address energy-efficiency and reliability challenges within compilers, binary translators and microarchitectures. Current strands of work consider novel ways of prefetching data into caches, contemporary schemes for extracting thread-level parallelism and advanced prediction within the core, amongst others.
He is the Director of the Computer Architecture and Semiconductor Design Centre (CASCADE). They are performing ground-breaking research that addresses some of the grand challenges in computer architecture, design automation and semiconductors.
As the Deputy Head of the School of Technology, Professor Jones will oversee the development and implementation of the School’s research strategy, aiming to create impetus, develop capacity and connect with major new challenges. Professor Jones will also represent the School on research matters at central University Committees, and contribute to the development of University policies on research matters.
