I am in the last year of my doctoral studies in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. My research area is computer architecture, and my dissertation focuses on scalable on-chip interconnection networks for tomorrow's chips with hundreds or even thousands of processing nodes. My research interests span much of the system stack, including programming languages, compilers, ISA, microarchitecture and circuits. I am also excited about cross-disciplinary research, particularly systems-level innovations aimed at solving problems in natural and biological sciences.
