Brief Bio
I was previously a member of the HPS Research Group at the University of Texas at Austin, where I received my PhD in 2006.
My PhD dissertation was on efficient runahead execution processors. I received my BS degrees in computer engineering and psychology from
the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2000 and my MS degree in electrical and computer engineering from UT-Austin in 2002.
I am interested in broad computer architecture research, especially in the interactions between programmers, languages, operating systems, compilers, and microarchitecture.
I worked at Intel Corporation during the summers of 2001-2003 and at Advanced Micro Devices during the summers of 2004-2005. During my graduate studies, I received
the UT-Austin Continuing Fellowship in 2003, the Intel PhD fellowship in 2004, and the University of Texas George H. Mitchell Award for Excellence in Graduate Research in 2005.

Research
- My research objective is to advance the hardware/software architecture of computer systems and microprocessors in novel ways such that their
performance, reliability, and efficiency are significantly improved to allow discoveries in science and developments in technology and engineering
that will increase the quality of human life in the world. Although I have broad research interests in computing, I am especially interested in
holistic architectural solutions that involve intelligent and efficient cooperation between the algorithm designer, the programmer, the compiler,
the instruction set architecture, the microarchitecture, and the underlying circuits.
