Miami, Fall 2024
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Professor Franz Franchetti.
I received a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with honors and a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics with honors from the University of Southern California, advised by Professor Viktor K. Prasanna.
My research interests lie in the areas of high-performance code generation, programming languages, compilers, and algorithms.
My undergraduate research is featured here.
