Biography

I am a computer architect at Nvidia working on emerging application domains including data analytics, telecommunications and HPC. I previously worked at Microsoft as both a software and a hardware engineer on the Maia and Cobalt programs developing the next generation of neural network accelerators and CPU architectures. I received my PhD from Cornell University, where I developed accelerators for machine learning inference tasks and was advised by Dr. José F. Martínez. I’m interested in smart ways of implementing algorithms in hardware, and re-thinking the hardware-software interface.

I completed my Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering (with a minor in Physics) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. My thesis work then related to scheduling users in OFDMA networks.

I’m a private pilot and enjoy flying above the Pacific Northwest. I also enjoy rock climbing, hiking, photography, really any excuse to enjoy the spectacular outdoors. I also enjoy classical music, classic rock, or just curling up on my couch with a good book and a cup of coffee or chai.
