Laura Cappelli

August 4, 2021

Laura Cappelli is a computer science student at Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna. Her studies span heterogeneous systems and parallel programming models, and her current research focuses on the use of SYCL from the Khronos Group and oneAPI from Intel for performance portability, and their application to physics reconstruction algorithms. In summer 2020, Laura participated to the CERN OpenLab programme, and is now working in collaboration with physicists from the CMS Experiment at CERN. She will defend her master’s thesis on “Performance portability of physics reconstruction algorithms on heterogeneous systems using the SYCL abstraction programming model” in early 2021.
