About Me

I am a computer architect who designs hardware mechanisms to address energy and performance bottlenecks in real-world workloads. My research focuses on energy-efficient microarchitecture and cache optimization. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Purdue University, advised by Dr. Changhee Jung.
