I'm working at Intel MRL through the end of the year (the current year being 2008), so you are extremely unlikely to find me at the office listed above. Email me if you want to contact me.

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Berkeley, interested in parallel computer architecture and high-productivity, high-performance computing. My advisor is Kurt Keutzer, and I am a member of the Pallas research subgroup of the Berkeley Parallel Computing laboratory (Parlab, for short).

I graduated in May 2007 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a B.S. in Computer Engineering. My undergraduate advisor was Steve Lumetta, and at Illinois I worked closely with his Ph.D. student John Kelm, and TA'ed the undergraduate operating systems and systems programming course.

"You were sick, but now you're well, and there's work to do," said Trout

We reject: kings, presidents and voting. We believe in: rough consensus and running code.
