Bio

I am the co-founder of LearnDesk. LearnDesk is a leading provider of teaching software and currently enables 20,000+ business, teachers, professors, coaches, and training companies globally to run their training workflows. I completed my PhD at UCSD working with Dean Tullsen in 2018. I have a BTech (2000) in ECE from IIT Kharagpur and a MS (2010) in CE from UT Austin. From 2002-2008, I was a researcher at Digital Media R&D Center, Samsung Electronics Korea. I was a researcher at AMD Research from 2012-2020.

Research Interests

I have broad interests in computer architecture and engineering. I have experience with consumer product development and have taken concepts from back of the envelope design to mass production. I am an inventor of over 50 granted and pending patents. Specifically, my research career has been focussed around research on four topics (key publications):

(1) Design of accelerator integrated systems including understanding the impact of accelerators on CPU architecture/management policies (ISCA 2015, HPCA 2015, ISCA 2013, SC 2013, IEEE Micro 2012, IEEE Micro 2011).

(2) Innovative use of new materials in computing systems including warehouse scale computing systems (ISCA 2015, ICCD 2014).

(3) Efficiency issues in embedded platforms and throughput processing algorithms (FCCM 2011, FPL 2011, AES 2007, ICASSP 2002).

(4) Simulation methodology (MODSIM 2013, Sigmetrics 2012, SAMOS 2012).
