I am a Master's student in Computer Engineering at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Hadi Esmaeilzadeh. My research focuses on computer architecture, with projects in designing custom accelerators for robotics and secure LLM inference, and repurposing hardware for sustainable computing.
About Me
Research Interests
I'm interested in Computer Architecture, Robotics, and LLM accelerators.
Experience
ACT Lab, UCSD
Designed and simulated custom hardware accelerators for robotics and secure LLM inference workloads, gaining experience in full-stack system design and performance analysis.
Kastner Research Group, UCSD
Developed course material for parallel programming course. Worked as TA for CSE 160, Prof. Ryan's parallel programming course. Contributed to research on sustainable computing, published at IGSC-'24, gaining experience in benchmarking and performance analysis.
Qualcomm Institute, UCSD
Developed systems for computing HRTF models based on 3D scans of human head models. Tested in AR/VR setup along with real-time audio ray tracing setup.
