I am a PhD candidate in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at Northwestern University. I am advised by Professor Gokhan Memik.

I am currently in the final year of my PhD studies and am out on the academic and industry job market.

I am an experimental computer architect. My research improves the energy efficiency, performance, and reliability of computer architectures. My doctoral dissertation explores incorporating the perception, physiological traits, and actions of the end user into the architectural design process. I am also interested in developing new ways to leverage multi-core processors for program understanding, dynamic program optimization, and fault tolerance. In general, I approach computer architecture research from a holistic perspective, cutting across traditional boundaries to study the interactions between the microarchitecture, compiler, systems software, application software, and the end user. My research also has ties to other disciplines, such as human-computer interaction, human physiology, and psychology.

My current and past research projects include:
