About

I am an assistant professor and the director of the High Performance Systems and Software Lab in the Computer Science Department of Colorado School of Mines. My research group focuses creating ecosystems to increase performance and utilization of heterogeneous systems.

My research interests span:

  • Diversely heterogeneous architectures
  • Analytical performance & resource modeling
  • Autonomous computing
  • Cyber-physical systems
  • Deep learning acceleration
  • Parallel programming paradigms
  • Runtime systems
  • Edge-cloud platforms

Please check 𝕙𝘆𝕡𝗲𝕤𝘆𝕤 (High Performance Systems and Software Lab) web page, to learn more about our team, projects and publications.


Prospective students for research: I am always interested in doing research with self-motivated Ph.D., M.S., and U.G. students. If you are interested in doing research please fill out the research interest form to contact me.
