Assistant Professor
University of California, Santa Cruz
About
I am an Assistant Professor at University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) in the department of computer science and engineering (CSE).
I am currently taking a leave to work in the RiSE group at Microsoft Research. Many of my academic activities will be paused during this time.
My research interests are in concurrency: programming, modeling, testing, and architecture. In particular, I am interested in exploring new programming models that enable development of correct and efficient applications on interesting (i.e. new or emerging) architectures.
I see GPGPU programming as pragmatic avenue to explore different ideas in concurrency (and also programming GPUs is fun!). Given this, much of my work is framed using GPGPU. I am an invited individual contributer to the Khronos Group (Sponsored by Google) where we think about how to evolve official standards.
Previously, I was a Post Doc at Princeton working in Margaret Martonosi’s group. I received my PhD from the Multicore Programming Group at Imperial College London supervised by Alastair Donaldson. Even earlier, I worked with Ganesh Gopalakrishnan and Zvonimir Rakamaric at University of Utah for my undergad and MS.
