Kyle C. Hale

Associate Professor of Computer Science
Oregon State University

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University. I was previously at Illinois Tech. My research interests span several areas in systems including OS, computer architecture, embedded systems, system security, and virtualization. A current focus is the design of specialized system software stacks for parallel and emerging computing applications. I am affiliated with the HiPCastor group at OSU. You can see my publications here.

I have been fortunate to receive the NSF CAREER award (2023-2028), as well as the IIT College of Computing’s Excellence in Teaching and Excellence in Research awards.
