Moin Qureshi

Short Bio: Moinuddin (Moin) Qureshi is a Professor of Computer Science at Georgia Tech. His research interests include memory systems, hardware security, and quantum computing. Prior to Georgia Tech, he was a research scientist at IBM T. J. Watson (2007-2011), where he developed caching algorithms for Power-7 systems. Qureshi received the 2022 ACM SIGARCH Maurice Wilkes Award for “contributions to high-performance memory systems” and is a Fellow of ACM and IEEE. His research has been recognized with several best-paper awards, multiple inclusions in ISCA-50 retrospective, and several "impact" awards, including the MICRO-2024 Test-of-Time Award and DSN-2025 Test-of-Time Award. In recognition of student mentoring and advising, Qureshi received the Georgia Tech (institute-wide) “Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Advisor Award” in 2024. Qureshi received his Ph.D. (2007) from UT Austin.
