I am a second-year PhD student working with Nikos Hardavellas in Paragon at Northwestern University. Currently, I’m exploring new memory models as well as hardware and software support for them. Previously, I’ve interned at NVIDIA and Argonne National Laboratory working on GPU compilers and runtimes. For some of this work, I was awarded (alongside my wonderful advisor at the time, Johannes Doerfert) the Hans Meuer Award at the ISC High Performance Computing Conference in 2022.

I also have passing interests in synthetic biology, and have been both a member and a team lead of Mathematics and Modelling Subteam in the University of Waterloo’s iGEM Teams in 2018, 2019 during my undergraduate degree.
