Recent update: As of September 2008, I have joined Intel Microarchitecture Research Lab.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. My advisors are Profs. Li-Shiuan Peh and Niraj K. Jha.

My research is focused on computer architecture, and more specifically, interconnection networks. I am interested in overcoming the communication wall by designing close-to-ideal on-chip communication networks for future multi- and many-core microprocessors. I am also interested in power- and thermal-aware system design. My research is currently being supported by an Intel Ph.D. Fellowship.

Before this, I was an undergraduate at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.

"We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness to it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity."

~Marie Curie, Lecture at Vassar College, May 14, 1921
