I am a PhD candidate in the Computer Science Department at Georgia Institute of Technology advised by Professor Hadi Esmaeilzadeh. I received my Bachelors (2012) in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, India where I was honored with the President of India Gold medal for my outstanding academic performance. Subsequently, I completed my Masters (2014) from the University of Texas, at Austin in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I joined my PhD studies in Fall 2014 and since have been a part of Alternate Computing Technologies lab. My research interests include computer architecture, microarchitecture design, and developing alternative technologies for efficient computing. I am continuously working towards designing full stack solutions and template-based architectures for accelerating Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms on an FPGA. Besides my primary research-area of computer architecture, I have also worked at the intersection of machine learning, hardware design, programming languages and databases. In my free time, I like to spend time oil painting, cooking, and reading novels.

My PhD work at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, was on Shared Cache Management. I am interested in architectures for emerging technologies, heterogeneous architectures and application specific accelerators.

My research has focused on power and energy in large-scale computing: modeling, measurement, management, and design at the system level. I'm currently Chair of CS at Sonoma State University, a campus of the California State University system. Ph.D. students who are interested in teaching at undergraduate institutions are welcome to contact me!

I am an Assistant Professor and an SK Hynix Faculty Fellow at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences department of University of California, Berkeley. My research interests are in the area of computer architecture, with a special focus on specialized accelerator, heterogeneous architecture, and agile VLSI design methodology. Previously, I was a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research and received my Ph.D. degree in 2016 from Harvard University.

My work has been awarded a Distinguished Artifact Award at ISCA 2023, the Best Paper Award at DAC 2021, the Best Paper Award at JSSC 2020, a Best Paper Award at MICRO 2019, Top Picks in Computer Architecture (2014), and Honorable Mentions (2019*2). My Ph.D. dissertation was nominated by Harvard for ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award. I am an SK Hynix Faculty Fellow and a recipient of an NSF CAREER Award, the 2022 IEEE TCCA Young Computer Architect Award, a Google Faculty Rising Stars Award in Systems Research, a Google Research Scholar Award, a Facebook Research Award, an Okawa Foundation Research Grant, and the inaugural Dr. Sudhakar Yalamanchili Award.
