Dr. Kenneth B. Kent
Director, Center for Advanced Studies in Multicore Associate Professor, Faculty of Computer Science. Since 2002, Dr. Kent has been a faculty member at the University of New Brunswick (Fredericton, Canada). His research interests include hardware/software co-design, reconfigurable computing, embedded systems, and software engineering. Dr. Kent has completed significant research on Java virtual machine technology including the use of distributed computing and dedicated hardware to accelerate Java execution. Recently, he has worked on finding parallelism in hardware circuit designs to improve execution performance of digital circuits.

Dr. Gerhard Dueck
Professor, Faculty of Computer Science In 1999 he joined the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of New Brunswick. His research interests include digital design, logic synthesis, reversible and multiple-valued logic, Reed Muller expansions, simulated annealing, and optimization.

Dr. Eric Aubanel
Associate Professor, Faculty of Computer Science Dr. Aubanel received his PhD in Theoretical Chemistry from Queen's University, Canada. His main research interest is in High Performance Computing. His primary funded research project is on Graph Partitioning for High Performance Computing, which concerns the mapping of the communication graphs of parallel applications to heterogeneous distributed computing platforms.

Dr. Weichang Du
Professor, Faculty of Computer Science Dr. Du has been a professor in the Faculty of Computer Science, University of New Brunswick since 1991. His general research areas include software and knowledge engineering, parallel and distributed computing, and internet and mobile computing.

Dr. David Bremner
Professor, Faculty of Computer Science Dr. Bremner completed his Ph.D. at McGill University on geometric aspects of linear programming in 1997, and was a postdoctoral fellow on similar topics at the University of Washington. Since then his research has taken a geometric point of view to optimization, CAD/CAM, robotics, and data analysis. Recently he has begun working with students at UNB on programming language design, with particular interest in language support for parallelism.
