Dr. Pinkston is a Professor in the EE-Systems Department of the Viterbi School of Engineering at USC where he heads the SMART Interconnects research group. Prior to joining USC in 1993, he was a Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories, a Hughes Doctoral Fellow at Hughes Research Laboratory, and a visiting researcher at IBM T. J. Watson Research Laboratory. Presently, he is serving a 2-year term as a program manager in the CCF Division of the CISE Directorate at the National Science Foundation (NSF). His research interests include the development of deadlock-free adaptive routing techniques and on-chip network and router architectures for achieving high-performance communication in multicore and multiprocessor computer systems. Most recently, Dr. Pinkston co-authored a book chapter with Prof. Jose Duato (UPV) entitled, "Interconnection Networks". This chapter appears as Appendix E in the 2006 release of a best-selling text, "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach", 4th edition, by John Hennessy and David Patterson. Instructional slides for this chapter can be found here.
