Vince Weaver
Vince Weaver obtained his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2000. He went on to work at a startup that made tablet PCs; this lasted until the dot-com crash of 2001. After a brief time spent writing web-interfaces for legacy Fortran models for the Army, he decided to go to grad school. He obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University in 2010, where he focused on Computer Architecture. He spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, working in Jack Dongarra’s Innovative Computing Laboratory, where he was a primary developer of the widely-used PAPI performance analysis library. Currently he is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maine.
