Welcome
I am a Research Scientist in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. My research interests are at the intersection of Systems and Networking and Embedded Systems, and I am particularly excited about research problems that benefit from using hardware insights to build more scalable and efficient systems.
I am the Director of the Systems Networking and Energy Efficiency - SYNERGY Labs at UCSD, the Executive Director of the NSF Expeditions in Variability, and a member of the Microelectronic Embedded Systems Lab (MESL) and the Systems and Networking Group (SysNet) at UCSD.
