Stella Bitchebe is a postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Computer Science at McGill University, working with Prof Oana Balmau in the Data-Intensive Storage and Computer Systems Laboratory (DISCS Lab). Her main research axes are Operating Systems, Virtualization, and Systems for Machine Learning (ML). With a background in Systems and a recent interest in ML, she aims to work at their intersection, proposing systems-level optimizations for ML frameworks and algorithms. She earned her M.Sc. at the Polytechnic School of Yaounde in Cameroon and her Ph.D. in France at Université Côte d'Azur under the supervision of Professor Alain Tchana. Her Ph.D. research proposed a novel research axis called Out of Hypervisor (OoH). OoH rethinks and redesigns the hardware and systems architectures for future virtualization technologies. Stella's research has been recognized with distinguished awards, including the Giorgia Tech Rising Star in ECCS award, the Microsoft Research Fellowship, the Google for Women in CS scholar award, the L'OREAL-UNESCO for Women in CS scholar award, and the NEC Labs Research Fellowship. Beyond research, Stella is highly involved in promoting STEM in general, particularly computer science, to young girls (both high school and university students). Since 2022, she has been organizing an annual workshop, WiSe (Women in Computer Science, previously WoCC), that exposes aspiring women scientists to women’s accomplishments worldwide in CS research.
