Gang Ren is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Polaris group led by Prof. David Padua. Currently, he is working with Prof. David Padua and Dr. Peng Wu on the compilation for multimedia extensions, which is a part of the SPIRAL project. His research interests include program analysis and transformations, low-level compiler optimizations, vectorization and simdization, domain-specific languages and compilers, and automatic performance tuning.

Gang Ren received his B.S. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Zhejiang University in 1998 and M.S. degree from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2001. Immediately after that, he came to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to continue his graduate study in the Department of Computer Science.
