I am currently dipping my feet into entrepreneur/startup life. Check out my new blog for updates.

Previously, I was an experimental computer architecture/systems researcher working to improve the energy efficiency, performance, and reliability of computer architectures.

At Qualcomm Research Silicon Valley, I worked on pervasive parallelism for mobile computing devices.

Past research projects from grad school (with selected publications):

• Smartphones In the Wild : [MICRO 2009] [SIGMETRICS 2010]
• Empathic Architectures and Systems: [ASPLOS-WACI 2008] [ISCA 2008] [MICRO 2008]
• Run-time Profiling and Optimization: [INTERACT 2005] [CGO 2007]
• Software-Implemented Transient Fault Tolerance: [DSN 2007](extended in TDSC 2009)

Take a look at Research and Publications for more details.
