Niket Agarwal

niketa [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a second year PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering. My research interests include computer architectures, interconnection networks and parallel computing. More specifically my focus lies in architecting efficient on-chip networks as well as embedding intelligence into the network. Apart from research, I spend most of my time trying to add new dimensions to my life.


kostas

Konstantinos Aisopos

kaisopos [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a second-year PhD student in Department of Electrical Engineering. My research interests lie in the area of Computer Architecture: parallel architectures and interconnection networks. I am an invited OCP-IP member, sponsored by OCP-IP, and currently working closely with Sonics, Toshiba, TI, and MIPS, to define the coherence extensions for OCP-IP. I am always in the process of cheering everybody up in my department.


abhishek

Abhishek Bhattacharjee

abhattac [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a third year PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering. My interests span high-performance and low-power chip-multiprocessors and FPGA-based emulation of these architectures. At the same time, my particular knack lies in the proposal of low-performance and high-power architectures. I am usually found making fun of the other esteemed colleagues in the group.


carven

Carven Chan

carvenc [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a third year Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. My interest is in design automation. A little less broadly, my research is about the verification of hardware systems. I am a member of the PriM project group (link TBA), which has been developing a combined architectural/microarchitectural/transactional hardware description language, and investigating how this modeling approach opens up new capabilities in functional verification.


yu-yuan

Yu-Yuan Chen

yctwo [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a 2nd-year PhD student in EE in Princeton University. I'm a member of PALMS research group, working on hardware/software architecture security. During the summer of 2007, I worked for Intel to investigate the security issues of Dynamic Binary Translator (DBT). Right now I'm looking at the opportunity of enhancing security in multicore processors, SoC and HW/SW approach.


sibren

Sibren Isaacman

isaacman [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am officially a first year PhD student at Princeton University despite having spent a year at Princeton already receiving my Master's of Electrical Engineering. Though focusing on classwork in an effort to pass the upcoming General Exam, I have become interested in resource constrained mobile network architectures and hope to begin research as soon as possible. Looking at old preschool papers, I wanted to be a "Steam Shovel Driver" when I grew up but at this point, I suspect that was because Engineer is too hard to spell.


manos

Emmanouil Koukoumidis

ekoukoum [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering. My primary research interests span the areas of distributed systems and networking with a strong wireless flavor. I am also interested in computer architecture and hardware/software interfaces. Currently I am working on the SARANA. I am always around teasing you… beware!


arun

Arun Raman

rarun [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering. My research interests include computer architectures, compilers with a focus on automatically extracting parallelism from general-purpose sequential programs. I have a Bachelor of Technology degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee. I like to annoy people by acting all serious as the tone of this paragraph indicates.


carole

Carole-Jean Wu

carolewu [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a fifth-year PhD student. My advisor is Margaret Martonosi, and I am a member of the Parapet Research Group. I am interested in techniques that exploit potential parallelism hidden in multi-threaded applications on CMP systems. Currently I am looking into both transactional memory works, as well as data-centric approaches, that grant granularity levels other than simply coarse- or fine-grained parallelism.


arnab

Arnab Sinha

sinha [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a third year PhD student. My advisor is Prof. Sharad Malik and I am interested in runtime verification of Software Transactional Memory system.


Jakub Szefer

szefer [at] princeton [dot] edu

I am a third year PhD student in Electrical Engineering department at Princeton University. I am currently advised by Prof. Ruby Lee and I work with the PALMS research group. My research interests are computer architecture and security.


Prateek Mishra

pmishra [at] princeton [dot] edu

Hi I'm a 4th year EE graduate student in Princeton University. I'm pursuing my PhD in EE under Prof. Niraj Jha in Princeton University. My research focusses on high performance VLSI circuit design and EDA methodologies in the light of aggressively scaling MOS technologies. More specifically I work in low power design, EDA and variation aware methodologies.
