Gilbert Bernstein will join the Allen School this winter from the University of California, Berkeley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where he was a postdoctoral researcher.

Bernstein’s research focuses on computer graphics and programming languages to design high-performance domain-specific languages for computing applications such as physical simulation, optimization and inverse problems, and spans user interfaces, differentiable programming, parallel-portability and new hardware design languages. He has published papers at ACM’s SIGGRAPH, POPL, PLDI and OOPSLA, and had research incorporated into products at Adobe, Autodesk, and Disney.
