Biography:
Margaret Martonosi is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, where she has been on the faculty since 1994. She also holds an affiliated faculty appointment in Princeton CS.
Martonosi's research interests are in computer architecture and the hardware/software interface, with particular focus on power-efficient systems and mobile computing. In the field of processor architecture, she has done extensive work on power modeling and management and on memory hierarchy performance and energy. This has included the development of the Wattch power modeling tool, the first architecture level power modeling infrastructure for superscalar processors. Her memory hierarchy work has included early performance-oriented studies, as well as more recent work on energy-aware memory hierarchies. In the field of mobile computing and sensor networks, Martonosi lead the Princeton ZebraNet project, which included two real-world deployments of tracking collars on Zebras in Central Kenya. She is now co-leader of the Sarana project, which is building software interfaces for collaborative computing among mobile devices.
Martonosi is co-author on over 100 refereed publications and inventor on five granted US patents. She is currently vice-chair of ACM SIGARCH. Martonosi completed her Ph.D. at Stanford University, and also holds a Master's degree from Stanford and a bachelor's degree from Cornell University, all in Electrical Engineering.
