About Me
I work as a hardware engineer. Previously, I did my BS/PhD in EECS at UC Berkeley specializing in computer architecture, simulation methodology, and RTL verification. I'm specifically interested in sampled microarchitecture simulation for processors, architectural description languages, eDSLs for hardware design, and the design of hardware emulators.
If you're an undergrad or graduate student at UC Berkeley who's interested in doing independent research with me, please reach out: there are infinite things to work on!
