Research / Scholarly interests
Konstantin’s research interests are in the areas of concurrency, parallel computing and digital signal processing. More specifically, the research involves coarse-grained (CPU-based) and fine-grained (GPU-based) parallel optimisations of digital signal processing algorithms employed in real-time systems. Some of the aims of the research projects are to identify parallel approaches that deliver optimal performance and real-time operation. His recent research activities include the application of signal processing techniques in financial time series..
