Paul Kelly

Paul Kelly is a Professor of Software Technology at the Department of Computing, Imperial College London. His research interests include programming languages, compilers, parallel computing, domain-specific tools and libraries, performance issues, irregular and data-intensive applications, performance evaluation, modelling, prediction, and computer systems. He is the head of the Software Performance Optimisation research group and co-Director of the Centre for Computational Methods in Science and Engineering. He also serves as Director of Industrial Liaison for the Centre for Doctoral Training in High-performance Embedded and Distributed Systems (HiPEDS).

Paul Kelly is a Professor of Software Technology at Imperial College London, specializing in compilers, high-performance computing, computer architecture, and computational science and engineering. His research focuses on advancing software systems for efficient computation, including the development of tools and methodologies for parallel programming, automated stencil computation, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) techniques. He has contributed to the creation of frameworks like Firedrake and Devito, which automate the finite element method and stencil computation, respectively. His work also addresses data locality, pointer analysis, and performance optimization for modern architectures, emphasizing the integration of high-level abstractions with low-level hardware capabilities.
