About.

Starting in Winter 2025, I will be joining the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. If you're interested in collaborating, please contact me at tzimpragos [at] wisc [dot] edu. Prospective Ph.D. candidates are encouraged to apply here.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan. My interests sit within the field of computer architecture, which I see as a bridge between disparate domains. For my latest updates, please take a look at my publications page and scholar profile.

My current research activities are primarily guided by the following three questions:

To this end, I follow a bottom-up approach and aim for cross-stack solutions that connect circuits, computational logic, microarchitecture, and programming languages. I am also excited to be at the forefront of innovation in hybrid quantum-classical computing through my participation in the Midwest Quantum Collaboratory and the IEEE IRDS committee on cryogenic electronics and quantum information processing.

Before joining the University of Michigan, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Santa Barbara. My dissertation was on the development, formalization, and deployment of a neuro-inspired temporal paradigm for in-sensor processing and superconducting computing. Before that, I obtained my Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC Davis. My alma mater is the National Technical University of Athens in Greece. 

Recruiting.

I am actively looking for intellectually curious students. Please apply and reach out to me if interested!
