Bio

I am a Ph. D. student working with Professor Krste Asanovic at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. My thesis focuses on on-chip cache system design in chip multiprocessors (CMP). In the past I've worked on microachitectural and VLSI designs of low-power caches.

I successfully defended my Ph.D. and expect to receive my degree by December 2005.
