About Me:

I am an assistant professor in the computer engineering group at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California. Prior to my teaching career, I worked in industrial research labs for 6 years; first at the Intel Microprocessor Research Labs as a senior researcher for five years and then at the Nokia Research Center Palo Alto as a visiting research faculty for eight months. At Nokia my research focused on mobile platform services. At Intel my research focused on computer systems architecture spanning the entire computer system design space; from new silicon technologies at that hardware level to systems software analysis of server workloads. The common theme in all my research work is that I chose an experimental and quantitative approach for evaluating my ideas. As such I built mobile application prototypes at Nokia to increase information relevance using location information. At Intel I have done extensive full system simulations, built physical system prototypes and experimented with existing SMP systems to judge the merit of my computer systems architecture ideas.
