I’m a third-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at UC Davis. I’m working with Professor Jason Lowe-Power on vector scatter/gather acceleration via hardware/software co-design. I also work with Professor Isaac Kim on quantum architectures.

I received my Bachelor’s degree from UC Davis, where I worked for 3+ years as a gem5 software engineer.

During my PhD, I interned for 9 months at AMD Research, where I modeled a new hardware component in gem5/QEMU and developed the software stack for the new hardware.


Research

My research work involves,


Previous Works

I worked at Professor Ian Davidson’s lab in my undergraduate study, during which I co-authored a SIGKDD paper.


Previous Projects


Teaching

I believe that engagement comes from understanding the nature of the problem, and the capability of using tools (e.g. software, and abstractions) for solving problems.


Open-source Contributions


Other Projects

I ocassionally solve problems at https://projecteuler.net/ and https://rosalind.info/. I like solving problems with geometric interpretations.
