About me

I am an 8th year Ph.D. student for Prof. John Kubiatowicz at U.C. Berkeley. I do research in computer architecture and quantum computing with a focus on practical designs for fault tolerance and reliability. I am also interested in CAD systems and applying those techniques to synthesize better quantum computer designs.

Research

Here are some results of my research:

Running a Quantum Circuit at the Speed of Data
To appear in International Symposium on Computer Architecture 2008 (ISCA08) bibtex

Automated Generation of Layout and Control for Quantum Circuits
Appears in Computing Frontiers 2007 (CF07) bibtex

Interconnection Networks for Scalable Quantum Computers
Appears in International Symposium on Computer Architecture 2008 (ISCA06) bibtex

Datapath and Control for Quantum Wires
ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization (TACO) bibtex

Can we build Classical Control Circuits for Silicon Quantum Computers?
Appears in Non-Silicon Computing Workshop in ISCA03 bibtex

Exploiting Prediction to Reduce Power on Buses
Appears in International Symposium on High Performance Computer Architecture 2004 (HPCA04) bibtex

Other interests

I am working on research quite a lot of the time but I do other stuff too. I am very interested in music (I used to play the tenor saxophone, piano, and cello), going outside and running , cooking , and traveling.

I am also getting married this Summer to the beautiful Charlotte Yan. Maybe I will have some pictures up of that eventually…

I also have some pretty awesome friends who do great things like, creating lighting solutions for people in 3rd world countries

My mother also sells tasty things for cooking as well
