About Me
Qinglei Cao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Saint Louis University (SLU), where he leads the Omni Computing Lab. He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, under the mentorship of Dr. Jack Dongarra (Turing Award 2021) and Dr. George Bosilca. He holds a B.S. from Hunan University and an M.E. from Ocean University of China. Prior to joining SLU, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Tennessee and a Member of Technical Staff at Cerebras Systems.
Dr. Cao’s research focuses on High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with expertise in parallel and distributed computing, task-based runtime systems, linear algebra algorithms, large-scale machine learning, and extreme-scale scientific applications. He received the Best Paper Award at IEEE CLUSTER 2020 and was awarded the ACM Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling in 2024. He was also a Gordon Bell Prize finalist in both 2022 and 2024. The ACM Gordon Bell Prize is an annual award recognizing exceptional achievements in HPC and often referred to as the 'Nobel Prize of Supercomputing'.
I am always looking for motivated undergraduate students and graduate students (Masters and PhDs) to join the Omni Computing Lab (qingleicao.com/lab). Don't hesitate to get in touch with Qinglei Cao for more information.
