Welcome to my Personal Webpage.

I am a final year PhD Student under Prof. Rajeev Balasubramonian (co-advised by Prof. Mahdi Nazm Bojnordi) in the School of Computing in University of Utah. My research lies in the intersection of Computer Architecture and Server-scale Data Processing, with specific focus on hardware-software codesign and novel algorithm design for Processing-near/in-Memory primitives.

I am actively looking for jobs. You can find my CV here. Feel free to contact me if I would make a good fit for any active roles relevant to my areas of expertise.
