I am a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Sciences department at University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Prof. Matt Sinclair and Prof. Shivaram Venkataraman.

My research interests lie in the area of computer architecture and systems, particularly for efficient power management for GPUs and large-sclae GPU-rich systems. Most recently, I have been collaborating with AMD Research and Development (RAD) to explore hardware and software co-design to improve power management efficiency. I am interested in examining this problem across the system stack, from a single GPU to large-scale GPU-based HPC systems.

Until July 2020, I was part of Nvidia Graphics in the role of ASIC Design Engineer for the SoC Memory Subsystem team in Bengaluru (India). I completed my Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani in 2019. 		[Image]
  It is not a large exaggeration to say that everything else in a computer exists in order to bring information swiftly to the ALU for manipulation; and for the ALU, adding is the mechanical equivalent of breathing.  
Tracy Kidder, The Soul of a New Machine (1981)
Isn't every computing challenge today indirectly about moving data?
