Jana Olivo
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Civil & Envir Engr
BioI am a Fulbright Visiting Student Researcher at the Blume Earthquake Engineering Center at Stanford University and a PhD Candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Politecnico di Torino. My research focuses on integrating performance-based design principles within structural optimization frameworks to develop safer, more resilient, and sustainable buildings and cities.
I investigate how structural optimization and artificial intelligence can challenge conventional design approaches and identify efficient solutions for seismic design and retrofit. My research interests include next-generation performance-based seismic design, structural resilience, and the integration of losses, consequences, and recovery into optimization-based design frameworks.
My academic path has been shaped by international exchange and collaboration. I have conducted research and teaching activities across Italy, Greece, China, and the United States, including two Marie Skłodowska-Curie Staff Exchange periods at the National Technical University of Athens and Infersence, and Adjunct Lecturer positions at Politecnico di Torino and South China University of Technology. I also completed a Double-Degree Program in Civil Engineering between Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and Politecnico di Torino. -
Kunle Olukotun
Cadence Design Systems Professor, Professor of Electrical Engineering and of Computer Science
BioKunle Olukotun is the Cadence Design Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. Olukotun is a pioneer in multicore processor design and the leader of the Stanford Hydra chip multiprocessor (CMP) research project. He founded Afara Websystems to develop high-throughput, low-power multicore processors for server systems. The Afara multi-core processor, called Niagara, was acquired by Sun Microsystems and now powers Oracle's SPARC-based servers. In 2017, Olukotun co-founded SambaNova Systems, a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence company, and continues to lead as their Chief Technologist.
Olukotun is the Director of the Pervasive Parallel Lab and a member of the Data Analytics tor What's Next (DAWN) Lab, developing infrastructure for usable machine learning. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, an ACM Fellow, and an IEEE Fellow for contributions to multiprocessors on a chip design and the commercialization of this technology. He also received the Harry H. Goode Memorial Award.
Olukotun received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from The University of Michigan. -
