RESEARCH:

Founder and Director – HPC-Lab, Dept. of Computer & Info. Science NTNU, started as her research group when she joined NTNU in 2001, and founded as a lab in 2008. It is now an established research lab in Heterogeneous and Parallel Computing, consisting of several Post Docs, PhD students and Master students as well as both national and international visiting colleagues and scientists who want to learn about and experiment with heterogeneous computing.

Elster is or has been the main advisor for several PhD students, over 100 master students, and have been co-advisor, Opponent and EU evaluator for many more.

My PhD student Jacob O. Tørring is currently on exchange for 3 months to Stanford University
PhD student Jakob R. Jørgensen, U of Århus, Denmark, spent Spring 2021 with us
Prof. GavinTaylor, US Naval Academy, spent his13-month sabbatical leave from USNA at HPC-Lab (June 2017-Aug 2018). His research interests are in Deep Learning/Machine Learning and HPC. We learned a lot from eachother!
