Herman Lam
is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida..
He has over 25 years of research and development experience in the areas of
distributed computing, service-oriented computing, and database management.
Currently, Dr. Lam’s main research interest is in reconfigurable computing
(RC), focused upon methods and tools for the acceleration and deployment of
scientifically impactful applications on scalable RC systems like the Novo-G
reconfigurable supercomputer. He was a Co-PI of the 2012 Alexander Schwarzkopf
Prize for Technology Innovation from the National Science Foundation for
“Novo-G: An innovative and synergistic research project and the world’s most
powerful reconfigurable supercomputer”. Dr. Lam also led a team of graduate
students at the University of Florida to win the 2018 Dell EMC AI Challenge,
recognized for developing and demonstrating a heterogeneous computing (HGC)
system that can support a complete workflow–data analysis and pre-processing,
model training, and deployment and inferencing–for machine learning.
Dr. Lam has authored or
co-authored over 150 refereed conference and journal articles and one textbook.
He served as the Associate Director of CHREC, the NSF Center for
High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing. Currently, Dr. Lam is the University
of Florida Site Director of the NSF Center for
Space, High-Performance, and Resilient Computing (SHREC).
Academically, Dr. Lam was the
Director of the Computer Engineering undergraduate program in the College of
Engineering at the University of Florida (2013-2022). He was on the steering
committee of the IEEE/ACM Joint Task Group that published the “Computer
Engineering Curricula 2016”, an IEEE/ACM curriculum guideline for undergraduate
degree programs in Computer Engineering.
He has earned numerous teaching awards, including awards for co-chairman
of a best Ph.D. dissertation in his department, outstanding supervisor of a
core laboratory in his department, and outstanding teaching award in the
College of Engineering, and UF University Teaching Improvement Program (TIP)
award. In 2015, Dr. Lam received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the
students of the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department of the
University of Florida.
