Ph.D student at the Institute for Computer System Architecture(ICSA), School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, supervised by Assistant Professor Marcelo Cintra. My research interests include Parallel Computer Architectures, Many-core systems, Thread Level Speculation, and Power Management. Please drop me an e-mail for a copy of my CV.
Member of the Compiler and Architecture Design Group (CArD). ICSA at Edinburgh is also a HiPEAC member institution.
ACM and ACM SIGARCH student member.
Have submitted my thesis and will be defending it soon!
