Professor Paul Kelly leads the Software Performance Optimisation group within the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. Whilst he has worked in many areas of computer systems, the core of his current work is compiler technology, aiming to push the frontiers of compiler research through moving up the "food chain", exploiting properties and opportunities special to particular classes of application. He has been heavily involved in the popular Devito, Firedrake and OP2 DSLs which all have significant adoption by both industry and academia.
