Joseph A. Zambreno has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University since 2006, where he is currently an Assistant Professor. Prior to joining ISU he was at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, where he graduated with his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2006, his M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2002, and his B.S. degree summa cum laude in Computer Engineering in 2001. While at Northwestern University, Dr. Zambreno was a recipient of a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, a Northwestern University Graduate School Fellowship, a Walter P. Murphy Fellowship, and the EECS department Best Dissertation Award for his Ph.D. dissertation titled "Compiler and Architectural Approaches to Software Protection and Security."
Computer architecture, compilers, embedded systems, and hardware/software co-design, with a focus on run-time reconfigurable architectures and compiler techniques for software protection. More generally, I am interested in reconfigurable computing, including the design and implementation of optimized FPGA architectures in various real-world domains such as cryptography, image and video processing, and data mining.
