Dr. Geancarlo Abich is a Brazilian researcher who works on projects for performance modelling, testing and reliability evaluation of Machine Learning models focused on High-Performance Spacecraft Computing (HPSC). He received the prestigious TTTC's E. J. McCluskey Best Doctoral Thesis Award at the International Test Conference (ITC) 2024, worldwide outstanding recognition. He received his bachelor's degree in computing engineering from UNISC (Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul), Brazil, 14', Masters degree in Computing, and Ph.D. degree in Microelectronics from UFRGS (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul), Brazil, 17' and 22’, advised by Prof. Ricardo Reis (UFRGS) and co-advised by Prof. Luciano Ost (Loughborough University) where he received the highest grade and his thesis advances become in a Book published by Springer Nature. In his earlier work, he contributed to developing NoC-based MPSoC management systems, soft-error reliability evaluation tools, and parallelism exploration of specialised neural network libraries. During his Ph.D. studies, Dr. Abich collaborated mainly with Prof. Luciano Ost at Loughborough University and with companies such as Imperas and Arm (University Program). In the last year, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in extending his thesis to evaluate the performance and power costs of parallelism and fault mitigation in machine learning models aimed at resource-constrained devices. Currently, he holds a postdoctoral position at INESC-ID as a co-investigator on performance modelling strategies over the SYCLOPS project. Dr. Geancarlo Abich's research focuses on achieving efficiency at different levels of abstraction, driving both performance gains and reliability at the software and hardware level by exploring the design space for new technologies to deploy AI at high-performance and reliable computing systems. The research he has been conducting in collaboration with their partners, including universities from Portugal, the United Kingdom, and Brazil, as well as industrial partners like ARM and Imperas, led to the publication of 1 book, 4 journal papers, and 14 peer-reviewed international conferences.
