About

I am currently a post-doctoral scholar in the Computer Architecture Group looking at co-design of post-Moore architectures.

I obtained my Ph.D. from the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the The University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Clint Dawson. I was a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow as well as a Donald D. Harrington Fellow. I previously completed Part III at University of Cambridge with an emphasis on Partial Differential equations. Before that, I earned a B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin.

My work lies at the intersection of computer science and numerical analysis. The advent of exascale computing represents a paradigm shift for scientific computing. Power-constrained design choices and the end of Dennard scaling have led to exponential growth in on-node concurrency. The difficulty of productively programming in light of this deluge of concurrency has led to the emergence of numerous task-based programming models (e.g. HPX, Legion, charm++, etc.). I am looking at the expressivity of these new programming models to accelerate the simulation of hurricane storm surge. Not only am I looking to leverage features provided by these models, but I am looking to go a step further. I am interested in the design of novel irregular–but crucially scalable–algorithms inspired by the flexibility of tasking frameworks. In particular, I am looking at dynamic load balancing and adaptive local timestepping methods. Learn more details about my research here.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and weightlifting. I currently live in the Bay area where I am taking advantage of the wonderful outdoors and farmers markets. Two of the most recent books I’ve read can be found here and here.
