Bio
I’m a CS PhD candidate at Stony Brook University, advised by Mike Ferdman.
I'm broadly interested in computer architecture and FPGA hardware acceleration.
My research work focuses on developing high-performance and power-efficient
datacenter processors and building high-performance networking systems.
Before joining Stony Brook, I got my Bachelor’s and Master's degrees in
Electrical and Computer Engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia.
My cat also has her own bio, check it out!
