My research interests primarily lie in the field of Computer Architecture with emphasis on Memory Subsystems, Domain-Specific Architecture, and Reliable Hardware/Software Systems.

I also have wide-ranging research/working experiences in Electrical and Computer Engineering, encompassing Integrated Circuit (IC) Design and Semiconductor Devices.
