BIO:
Chandra Krintz is an Associate Professor at the University of
California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).  She joined the UCSB faculty
in 2001 after receiving her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer 
Science from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) under 
the advisement of Dr. Brad Calder.  Chandra's research interests 
include automatic and adaptive compiler, virtual runtime, and operating 
system techniques that improve performance (for high-end systems) and 
increase battery life (for mobile, resource-constrained devices).  In 
particular,  her work focuses on exploiting repeating patterns in the 
time-varying behavior of underlying resources, applications, and
workloads to guide dynamic optimization and specialization of program 
and system components. Chandra has published her work in ACM venues
including CGO, PACT, PLDI, OOPSLA, ASPLOS, and others, and has been recognized
with an NSF CAREER award (2006).  In addition, Chandra was elected (2007)
to serve as the Vice Chair of the Executive Committee of the ACM 
Special Interest Group for Programming Languages (SIGPLAN) which 
oversees the organization of the conference venues and programs in 
her research area.
