Dr. Ann Marie Grizzaffi Maynard is the Program Director of the Austin Center for Advanced Studies. She received her PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 1992 under Dan Siewiorek. Her B.S. in Electrical Engineering was earned at Polytechnic University of New York (a.k.a. "Brooklyn Poly").
During her graduate school years, Dr. Maynard worked on several research projects at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey relating to the design and performance analysis of high performance and multiprocessor systems. At NASA Langley Research Center, she worked on the validation of SIFT, a highly reliable multiprocessor system for aircraft control.
As a Senior Engineer in IBM-Austin Development (5 years) and at the Austin Research Laboratory (3 years), Dr. Maynard's focus has included analytic modeling, full system and trace-driven simulation, workload characterization, and system-level hardware performance analysis of future system designs for commercial markets. Her expertise includes memory subsystem performance.
Dr. Maynard's awards have including the IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Award for RS/6000 Memory Subsystem Analysis, Nov. 1994, the IBM Technical Author Recognition Award, Jan 1995, and a First Patent Application Invention Achievement Award, June 1999. Her works have been published by ASPLOS, the IBM Journal of Research and Development, and others. She is Co-Chair of IEEE Workshop on Workload Characterization for the third year (1998-2000) and has co-edited two books on workload characterization. She is a member of ACM.
