As the original leader of the Computation Structures Group, Professor Dennis led the development of dataflow models of computation and novel principles of computer architecture inspired by dataflow models. He is currently engaged in research on functional programming principles and related principles of computer architecture, and is applying these concepts in the design of a novel advanced multiprocessor chip for general-purpose computing.

Prof. Dennis received the 1984 Eckert-Mauchly Award for contributions to the field of computer architecture, and is a Fellow of the IEEE and of the ACM.
