I am a Ph.D. from the Computer Architecture Lab at Stony Brook University. Currently I am working at Microsoft Azure as a Software Engineer, specialized in hardware/software integration and performance optimization. I have a broad interest in the field of computer architecture and operating systems, including FPGA reconfigurable computing, heterogeneous multicore systems, hardware accelerators, and network processing.

During my Ph.D. I was advised by Professor Mike Ferdman, focusing on memory systems, host-accelerator integration, and FPGA-based accelerators for datacenters.
