Biography
I am a final-year PhD student advised by Professor Christopher Batten in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. I am part of the Computer Systems Lab (CSL) at Cornell.
My PhD research is focused on efficient parallel framework for heterogeneous multi-/many-core systems and area-/power-efficient support for next-generation vector architectures in mobile systems in chip. Aside from that, I led a small group of postdoc, PhD students, and undergraduates at Cornell University in a heterogeneous many-cor/FPGA tapeout project in collaboration with a research team from Princeton University.
Prior to joining Cornell, I received my Bachelors in Computer Science from University of Mississippi in 2016. I worked as a research co-op at AMD Research on modeling AMD’s next-generation GPU’s cache system and developing a cache coherence testing framework in gem5 simulator in 2017. During my PhD, I interned at Arm Research to explore wafer-scale many-core architecture and Arm’s Scalable Matrix Extension (SME).
I am currently looking for an industry research position starting in Summer 2023.
Here is my CV (Updated on 10/01/2022).
