About Me:
I am a 3rd year graduate student in the EECS department at UC Berkeley, being advised by Professor Edward A. Lee. I received my B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from UC Santa Barbara in the spring of 2010.
Research Interests:
My research interests include the design and verification of embedded systems, with a focus on distributed real-time systems. In particular I am interested in how various methods of abstraction and tools can simplify and automate the design and verification of such systems. I am currently involved in the PRET and PTIDES projects.
Past Projects:
- PTIDES on Multicore: Simulation and Optimization
- Pt1588: Open-source Implementation of the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol for Real-Time Distributed Systems
- Implementation of Clustering Algorithms in DAGs
- SMT Solving for Nonlinear Constraints by Integrating CalCS and Interval Constraint Propagation
