Zhiyuan Li has conducted many years' research on compiler techniques for parallel processing and
locality enhancement. Recent focus of his group in this area is on programming interfaces and
compiler support for the development of innovative parallel software, targeting both large scale
high-end systems and multicore microprocessor chips. In recent years, his group has also designed and
implemented compiler-based programming environments and run-time systems for resource-constrained
distributed systems such as mobile devices, embedded systems and wireless sensor networks, improving
their energy efficiency, reliability and maintainability.
Li received a National Science Foundation Research Initiation Award and a National Science Foundation
Career Award in 1992 and 1995, respectively. He was named by Purdue University as a University
Faculty Scholar for the years of 2005-2010. Li has served as a program committee member for many
international conferences sponsored by IEEE and ACM. He is Program Chair for ACM SIGPLAN/SIGBEG
Conference on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems (LCTES) in 2007. He co-chaired the
International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing in the years of 1997 and
2004 respectively.
