About Me

I am a PhD candidate in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering focusing on computer architecture. I am advised by Rakesh Kumar.

I am interested in extending the reach of computing to new applications and domains whose constraints are not met by traditional computing platforms. My work has focused on architectures and chips for three such domains. First, I have designed and built computer chips in flexible electronics for applications with the conformality, thinness, and cost constraints that cannot be met by silicon chips. Second, I have designed novel architectures for earable and olfactory computing platforms that I believe will drive a large class of new and important computing applications in the future. Third, I design computer systems for in-space computing - I believe that space is going to be a new and increasingly important frontier of computing.
