I'm Muhammad Awad (pronouns: he/him/his). I recieved my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of California, Davis, and I was advised by Professor John Owens. Before that, I received my bachelor's degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University, Egypt, in 2013.

My research focuses on building GPU data structures. Here are some data structures that I designed and built:
- 🌳 Dynamic GPU B-Tree
- ⌛ Multiversion GPU B-Tree
- 🕸 Dynamic hash-based GPU graph data structure (integrated into Gunrock)
- 🧹 GPU (on-device) epoch-based memory reclamation scheme to safely reclaim memory for concurrent GPU data structures
- #️⃣ Static GPU hash tables that use probing schemes including cuckoo hashing, power-of-two choices, and iceberg hashing
- 👨💻 Bucketed Cuckoo hash set written in PTX and JIT-compiled.
