Biagio Cosenza, Ph.D.

I received my Ph.D. from the Università di Salerno (Italy) in March 2011, thesis "Efficient Distributed Load Balancing for Parallel Algorithms" supervised by Prof. Vittorio Scarano.
During my Ph.D studentiship, I was the recipient of

• A scholarship funded by DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) supervised by Prof. Carsten Dachsbacher and hosted by VISUS (Universität Stuttgart) - subject "A Parallel Approach for Scalable Lighting";
• A ISCRA grant for the access to the parallel hw available at CINECA Supercomputing in Bologna;
• A HPC Europa2 Transnational Access grant funded by the EC, at the HLRS Supercomputing Center in Stuttgart, supervised by Prof. Thomas Ertl and Prof. Carsten Dachsbacher and hosted by VISUS - subject "Synergy Effects of Hybrid CPU-GPU Architectures for Interactive Parallel Ray Tracing";
• A HPC Europa++ Transnational Access grant funded by the EC, at the HLRS Supercomputing Center in Stuttgart, supervised by Prof. Thomas Ertl and Prof. Carsten Dachsbacher and hosted by VISUS - subject "An Evaluation of Adaptive Subdivision Schemas for Parallel Ray Tracing".

In 2007 I took my M.Sc. (cum laude) in Computer Science, thesis "Interactive Ray Tracing on Parallel Architectures", and in 2004 my B.Sc. (cum laude) in Computer Science, thesis "An Architecture for P2P Systems in Java", both advised by Prof. Vittorio Scarano.
