About the group

abstract is the research group of Prof. Brandon Lucia in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Our group does research at the intersection of computer architecture, computer systems, and programming languages. Our research focuses on improving the programmability, reliability, and efficiency of computing devices and systems. Our work cuts across the layers of the system stack, from the microarchitecture to the application, often touching on everything in between.

Research

Our group does computer systems research spanning architecture, software systems, and programming languages. We are currently focused on intermittent computing, efficient edge computing, and developing computer systems for emerging small form-factor satellites.
We release code Github.
