About Me

My name is Soroush Ghodrati. I am a PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department under supervision of Prof. Hadi Esmaeilzadeh at UC San Diego.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Architecture, and System Design. Specifically, I am interested in devising new technologies and domain-specific computing architectures and systems to accelerate AI workloads execution.

My research is generously supported by a Google PhD Fellowship.
