I am an assistant professor in the Electronic Systems group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Prior to joining TU/e, I was first a PhD student (graduated 2019) and then a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, in the research group of Professor Lieven Eeckhout. I received my MS degree in computer science from the University of Arizona in 2011.

Research

My research interests include the area of computer architecture with an emphasis on designing novel techniques to improve performance, energy efficiency, reliability, and security on modern processors.
