Rosa Badia

In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Badia and the second or maternal family name is Sala.

Rosa María Badia Sala (born 1966)[1] is a Spanish computer scientist specializing in parallel computing, supercomputing, superscalar processing, and multi-core processing.[2] She is a researcher of the Spanish National Research Council, affiliated with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, where she is the manager of the workflows and distributed computing group.[2]

Education and career

Badia earned a degree in computer science from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in 1989, and continued at UPC for a Ph.D., which she completed in 1994,[3] under the direction of Jordi Cortadella.[4] She worked at UPC as a lecturer in computer architecture from 1989 to 1997, and then as an associate professor from 1997 to 2008.[3]

Badia's early work concerned electronic design automation.[2] While working at UPC, she became a researcher at the European Center of Parallelism of Barcelona (CEPBA) beginning in 1999,[3] through which her interests shifted to parallel computing.[2] In 2005 she became manager of the workflows and distributed computing group in the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, the successor project to CEPBA.[1]

She became a researcher for the Spanish National Research Council in 2008,[1] also continuing to lecture at the UPC[3] as a part-time associate professor since 2011.[1]

Recognition

Badia was the 2019 winner of the Euro-Par Achievement Award, an annual award of the European Conference on Parallel Processing given to researchers with outstanding contributions to the topic.[5] Also in 2019, the Generalitat de Catalunya gave her their DonaTIC prize in the academic/researcher category, recognizing the achievements of women in STEM in Catalonia.[6]

She won the HPDC Achievement Award for 2021 at the ACM Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC '21), "for her innovations in parallel task-based programming models, workflow applications and systems, and leadership in the high performance computing research community".[7] Also in 2021, she was elected an ACM Distinguished Member.[8]
