About me

I am a Postdoc researcher in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University.

My general research interest is in using ML for dynamic resource management for emerging architectures, including CPU-GPU, Non-Volatile memories.

My current research is motivated from need for energy efficient, high performance computing for AI/ML and big data workloads. Specific topics include:

  • Resource management in large manycore systems using Voltage/Frequency Islands
  • Machine learning methods such as Bayesian optimization, Imitation learning, Reinforcement learning for resource management
  • Uncertainty aware Online learning for Dynamic resource management in Large manycore systems
  • Emerging domain-specific architectures and ML-based runtime optimizations for CNNs, GNNs, and other deep learning workloads
  • Reliable computing on non-ideal Processing-in-memory hardware
  • Heterogeneous Processin-in-Memory Acceleration of Deep Neural Network Training

I have 6 years of experience in the Semiconductor industry (primarily RTL design, synthesis, and timing analysis). I finished my Masters in Technology (M.Tech.) degree in VLSI and Embedded Systems from IIIT DELHI, New Delhi in 2015, advised by Dr. Alexander Fell.

I got my PhD from Washington State University in May 2025. I am very fortunate to work with my PhD advisors Prof. Partha Pratim Pande and Dr. Jana Doppa
