Guy Edward Blelloch is a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University.[1] He is known for his work in parallel algorithms.[2]
Education and career
[edit]Blelloch went to Swarthmore College and graduated in 1983 with a BA in Physics and BS in Engineering.[2] He then pursued a PhD in Computer Science at MIT and was advised by Charles E. Leiserson.[3] He graduated in 1988 with a dissertation titled Vector Models for Data-Parallel Computing.[2][3]
Blelloch joined Carnegie Mellon University in 1988[2] and has taught courses on parallel algorithms and data structures.[4] From 2016 to 2020, he was also the associate dean of undergraduate studies.[2]
Awards and recognitions
[edit]Blelloch was inducted as an ACM Fellow in 2011.[5]
He was the recipient of 2021 IEEE CS Charles Babbage Award in recognition of "contributions to parallel programming, parallel algorithms, and the interface between them".[2]
He was the recipient of the 2023 ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award for "contributions to algorithm engineering, including the Ligra, GBBS, and Aspen frameworks which revolutionized large-scale graph processing on shared-memory machines".[6]
