About Me

I am a U.S. Citizen with a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from UC Santa Barbara, passionate about building the next generation of AI computing systems.

My work sits at the intersection of machine learning, computer architecture, and systems engineering. I am interested in AI hardware-software co-design, efficient inference, accelerator architectures, CUDA optimization, and scalable infrastructure for large-scale AI.

My doctoral research spans diffusion models, probabilistic machine learning, and energy-efficient accelerator design, with a focus on translating machine learning algorithms into practical, high-performance computing systems.

I am excited by opportunities to help shape the future of AI infrastructure through close integration of algorithms, software, and hardware.
