ARS-Lab
Architectures for Resilient and Scalable Systems Laboratory (ARS-Lab) is a research group led by Assistant Professor Sanem Arslan Yılmaz at the Computer Engineering Department, Marmara University.
Our group focuses on various issues:
- Fault-Tolerant Computing – principles, architectures, and techniques for building resilient systems
- Reliability Analysis of AI/ML Models – robustness and fault injection studies of machine learning models
- Machine Learning at the Edge - TinyML, federated learning, and on-device AI for microcontrollers and embedded platforms
- High Performance Computing - parallelization, workload scheduling/mapping, and scalability analysis of scientific applications
- Computer Architecture – microarchitecture-level reliability, error detection, and mitigation
We are always looking for motivated graduate/undergraduate students interested in related topics. Please feel free to email Sanem!
