Dr. Magnus Själander received both his Ph.D. degree (2008) and Lic.Eng. degree (2008) in Computer Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden and the M.S. degree (2003) in Computer Science and Engineering from Luleå University of Technology, Sweden. He has been a research intern at NXP Semiconductors, worked at Aeroflex Gaisler, and been a post-doctoral researcher at Chalmers University of Technology. He has co-authored one book-chapter and more than 25 technical papers in various conferences and journals. He joined the FSU department in 2012.

Research

Dr. Själander′s research interests include energy-efficient computing, high-performance and low-power digital circuits, micro-architecture and memory-system design, and hardware-software interaction. He is currently working on energy-efficient memory hierarchies and the instruction set architecture of a new processor design.
