Welcome to my academic website


Introduction


Welcome! I am a Lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis in the departments of Computer Science & Engineering and Electrical & Systems Engineering. I joined the teaching faculty in Fall 2024. I teach computer engineering to wonderful students!


Biography

Michael Hall received a B.S. degree in Computer Engineering and an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. He subsequently obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, where he conducted his doctoral research under the direction of Roger D. Chamberlain. He was employed in industry for approximately 9 years as a Software Engineer, working at VelociData and OpenVault. His experience spans reconfigurable logic, integrated circuit and PCB design, networking, software engineering, parallel programming, optimization, and data science. Beginning in 2020, he taught evening classes as an Adjunct Instructor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at Washington University in St. Louis. In 2023, he was involved in editing and publishing a children’s book. Hall has conducted research in the areas of magnetic tunnel junctions and context-switched hardware blocks. His research interests include performance analysis, modeling, digital systems, and reconfigurable logic.


Personal

I live in St. Louis, Missouri, with my wife Hailey. I grew up just across the river in Illinois, where my early interest in computers began—my father introduced me to programming when I was in second grade. This passion led me to pursue a career in Computer Engineering, with experience spanning both hardware and software design.

Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, reading, and deepening my Catholic faith through study and prayer. I also support Hailey in her creative pursuits; she is a published author and artist, and together we co-published the children’s picture book An Aunt’s Animal Alphabet. Additionally, I write book reviews on my website, The Techno Scholar Chronicles, and we maintain an art portfolio showcasing Hailey’s artwork.
