About Me

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science department at Florida International University (FIU), focusing on Emerging Architectures under the supervision of Dr. Sumit Kumar Jha. I received my M.S. from BITS Pilani in Wireless Communications and Signal Processing with a minor in VLSI Design. Previously, I worked as a Baseband Hardware Design Engineer on Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11ax/802.11ba at Silicon Labs, and I interned at Cisco as a software developer.

My research lies at the intersection of circuits, architectures, synthesis and Algorithms, with an emphasis on in-memory, and technology-aware mapping on emerging memory substrates (e.g., RRAM). I build end-to-end flows that connect algorithmic representations to hardware implementations to evaluate area, energy, and latency faithfully.
