Vassil Vasilev (Princeton University (US))

Description

The compiler-research.org initiative aims to make compiler
research more visible, interconnected, and sustainable across academia
and industry. Beyond research infrastructure, it pioneers a new model
for open-source education and mentorship offering remote, project-based
training in advanced compiler and systems engineering for early-career
professionals. This approach fills a critical gap in scientific software
development by fostering deep technical mentorship, alignment with
research goals, and long-term engagement through meaningful open-source
contributions. Graduates emerge ready for research-driven roles in AI,
high-performance computing, and scientific software engineering.

This talk will present an overview of the project’s goals and evolving
open-source architecture for organizing compiler knowledge in a
community-driven way. We’ll explore how foundational compiler and
systems tools foster modern data science; highlight recent achievements
and ongoing collaborations; and share our vision for enabling
cross-disciplinary progress through shared infrastructure and open,
connected research.
