Fengguang Song is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Indiana University Purdue University, Indianapolis. He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville under the direction of the 2021 Turing Award Winner, Jack Dongarra. After receiving his PhD, he continued to work with Jack as a Post-doctoral Research Associate between 2010 and 2012, then worked as a Senior Research Scientist in the Computer Science Lab at Samsung Research America-Silicon Valley. Since August 2013, Dr. Song has been working as an Assistant Professor then as Associate Professor of Computer Science at Indiana University Purdue University.
