Projects

Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Heterogeneous-and-Configurable Systems (Ongoing). This project focuses on securing computing systems via a holistic, vertical approach that is the intersection of hardware design methodologies for heterogeneous and configurable systems (HaCS), associated artificial intelligence models such as artificial neural networks and reinforcement learning, and cyberattack models that exploit the system vulnerabilities.

Augmented Reality for Applied Behavior Analysis (ARABA) (Ongoing). This multidisciplinary project explores using artificial intelligence in augmented reality applications to assist psychology researchers in developing smart training programs for people with autism.

Dynamic Scheduling for Configurable, Heterogeneous Embedded Systems (Ph.D. Dissertation). Architected new heterogeneous-and-configurable systems (HaCS) for disparate design requirements; Researched design methodologies and developing dynamic scheduling and tuning algorithms for these systems; Achieved over 25% energy savings while maintaining performance and scalability requirements

Towards Exa-scale Emulation (Master’s Project). Architected prototypes and feasibility studies to accurately emulate exa-scale systems; Collaborated with researchers from Sandia National Research Laboratories; Worked closely with the co-principal investigator as a lead Ph.D. student on an $8M multidisciplinary proposal; Our proof of concept prototype and feasibility study were presented to the Department of Energy and the proposal was awarded the $8M grand
