In Fall 2025 I will start as a postdoc at EPFL! 🇨🇭

I received my PhD from the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Princeton University. I was advised by Prof. David Wentzlaff in the Princeton Parallel Group.

I did my undergrad at Duke in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I was advised by Prof. Krishnendu Chakrabarty and his graduate students and conducted research on VLSI testing.

I spent summer 2023 interning at AMD Research, mentored by Yasuko Eckert.

I was supported by Princeton’s Gordon Y. S. Wu Fellowship and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.

Research Interests

My research focuses on computer architecture and systems under (very broadly defined) economics constraints. I am interested in how factors such as semiconductor manufacturing, economic trends, and policies/regulations ultimately affect chip and system designs.

Closer to traditional computer architecture, I am interested in energy and cost efficiency, chiplet architectures, software-hardware co-design (DECADES Project) and sys for ML (SAIL@Princeton).

Additionally, I am passionate about building research and student communities. I serve on the Computer Architecture Student Association steering committee and I am the graduate liason for Princeton ACM. I am also a resident graduate student at Whitman College. If you’re ever in the area or meet me at a conference, please reach out and say hello!
