Pavel Golikov

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, working in Prof. Gennady Pekhimenko’s EcoSystem research group at the Vector Institute. My research focuses on Computer Systems, Computer Architecture, and Artificial Intelligence — with a particular interest in efficient hardware for machine learning and GPU resource management in the cloud.

Prior to my academic career, I served as an Intelligence Operator in the Canadian Armed Forces, where I held security clearance and conducted analysis of classified information at all classification levels. This experience shaped my analytical mindset and discipline that I bring to my research today.

I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science (2022) and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (2020), both from the University of Toronto. I also hold an earlier Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Philosophy (2011) from the University of Toronto.
