Prakanth Thilakaraj

PhD Student, Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick

I research machine-learning-based compiler optimization, supervised by Prof. Gihan Mudalige, and have 2+ years of industry experience as a compiler engineer at WSO2.

My current work covers reinforcement learning for MLIR pass selection and MLIR-based code generation for HPC domain-specific languages.
