| About Me: |
After graduating from Tufts University with a BS in Computer Engineering, I entered the Ph.D. program in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. I was a member of Harvard University in the VLSI Mixed Signal Group under Prof. Gu-Yeon Wei and the Computer Architecture group under Prof. David Brooks (co-advised) until my graduation, June 2009. Before beginning a my faculty post at Drexel University in January 2010, I spent 5 months in the R&D department at ARM Ltd. in Cambridge UK. |
| Research Interests: |
| My research group at Drexel investigates methods to increase energy efficiency across the boundaries of circuits, architecture, and systems. Currently, they are exploring the performance and energy benefits of heterogeneity in future microprocessor architectures. Our recent accomplishments include an accelerator architecture for ultra sound imaging, evaluation of hardware reference counting, hardware and operating system support for power-agile computing, and memory systems for accelerator-based architectures. See our recent publications for more information. |
| OPEN POSITIONS: |
I am looking for talented and motivated PhD students to join my research group. I'm looking for students with a strong undergraduate record in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science and a strong background in computer architecture, compilers, operating systems or VLSI design. Please send your application in by the January 1st deadline and then drop me an email. Drexel ECE Admissions |
