I'm a computer architect working on CPU hardware and software for AI — and more recently, exploring hardware‑software co-design at AMD.
About
I'm a computer systems researcher, trained as a computer architect, working primarily on CPU hardware and software technologies for AI. I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Stony Brook University (COMPAS Lab, advised by Prof. Michael Ferdman), and joined AMD Research in Boxborough, MA right after graduating. I moved to India in 2024 and have continued with AMD Research since, where I've also started exploring hardware‑software co-design.
