About Me

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Purdue University, advised by Dr. Changhee Jung. My research lies in computer architecture, with a focus on designing energy-efficient and resilient systems under constrained resources. I study how microarchitectural decisions interact with intermittence, security, and correctness, with the goal of improving system efficiency, reliability, and robustness.

Current Research Directions

  • Low-power microarchitectural design
  • Acceleration for main-memory encryption
  • Analysis of hardware vulnerabilities
  • On-device machine learning inference
  • Crash consistency across system hibernation
