Short Bio

    I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate at Pennsylvania State University, under the supervision of Prof. Mahmut Kandemir and Prof. Chita Das, my primary research focus is on optimizing the performance and energy efficiency for on-device machine learning and video processing through algorithm and system co-design. I also have hands-on experience in other domains like compiler or HW architecture-driven optimizations and other applications like DLRMs and LLMs.
