Calvin Lin is a University Distinguished Teacher Professor of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin. Lin received the BSE in Computer Science from Princeton University in 1985 (Magna Cum Laude) and the Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Washington in December 1992. Lin was a postdoc at the University of Washington until 1996, when he joined the faculty at Texas. Lin's research takes a broad view of how compilers and computer hardware can be used to improve system performance, system security, and programmer productivity. He is also Director of UT's Turing Scholars Honors Program, and when he is not working, he can be found chasing his two young sons or coaching the UT men's ultimate frisbee team. See less
