about me

I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Professor Sanjay Kale.

My research interests are broadly in high-performance computing, runtime systems, and future-looking architectures. My recent work focuses on numerical algorithms for dataflow architectures.

I'm fortunate to be funded by the 2023-2024 Andrew & Shana Laursen Fellowship and the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship.
