Eric S. Chung is a Researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond. Eric is interested prototyping and developing productive ways to harness massively parallel hardware systems that incorporate specialized hardware such as FPGAs. Eric received his Ph.D. in 2011 from Carnegie Mellon University and was the recipient of the Microsoft Research Fellowship award in 2009. His paper on CoRAM, a memory abstraction for programming FPGAs more effectively, received the best paper award in FPGA'11. Between 2005 and 2011, Eric led the ProtoFlex project that enabled practical FPGA-accelerated simulation of full-system multiprocessors.
