Timothy Rogers, associate professor in Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been inducted into the prestigious MICRO Hall of Fame. The MICRO Hall of Fame honors researchers who have published eight or more papers in the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO), a leading conference in computer architecture.

The recognition highlights Rogers' sustained contributions to the field. His research focuses on architecture, software systems and performance modeling for programmable hardware accelerators such as GPUs. Inductees are acknowledged annually during the awards ceremony at the MICRO symposium, where they are celebrated for their influential research.

“It is an honor to join the group of researchers included in the MICRO hall of fame,” said Rogers. “I am thankful for the great group of collaborators I have had the good fortune to work with over the years, and most of all my past and present graduate students, without whom this would not be possible.”

Since joining Purdue in 2016, Rogers has garnered multiple honors, including an NSF CAREER Award in 2020 and several best paper nominations. His research addresses challenges in computing performance and efficiency, advancing the capabilities of modern microprocessors and systems.

The MICRO Hall of Fame, established to celebrate significant contributions to microarchitecture research, includes only a select group of distinguished authors. Rogers' induction underscores his impactful and sustained contributions to the field, positioning him among the leading experts in computer architecture.
