About

I am a third year student in Computer Science at UC Berkeley advised by Krste Asanović and David Patterson. I recieved my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, also from UC Berkeley. My interests include: parallel architectures, low power, datacenters, and networking.

Research

I am currently investigating how to best use silicon photonics to create interconnects between cores and memory. I have also done course projects on: memory power management, manycore TLBs, and low power CAM design.
