Research:

I work with Prof. Antonia Zhai in the area of computer architecture, exploring the challenges and opportunities in the design of heterogeneous many-core architectures. Previously, I worked with Prof. Wei-Chung Hsu and Prof. Antonia Zhai on performance characterization and dynamic optimizations for emerging workloads on multicore architectures.
