- how to escape the abstractions imposed by domain-specific languages used in code generation?
- how to extend these techniques beyond a single CPU/GPU to exploit the next generation of exascale supercomputers?
- develop a portfolio in the context of education by contributing to teaching in the department as a teaching assistant
