Welcome

I am a PhD student in computer science at UT Austin. I work with Calvin Lin in the Speedway Group on using machine learning models to manage the CPU memory hierarchy.

Prior to joining UT Austin, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from the University of Arkansas, where I was advised by Justin Zhan. I have also worked with the CORGi Research Group at Carnegie Mellon University with Nathan Beckmann.

My PhD is currently supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
