I am currently a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at University of California, Irvine with the prestigious Fellowship Award received from the Belgian-American Educational Foundation (BAEF).

I received my PhD degree in Computer Science Engineering at Ghent University, Belgium in 2017 with a thesis on "Adaptive Routing Algorithms in Networks-on-Chip", and stayed as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Electronics and Information Systems until Dec. 2019.

I am the recipient of the Best Paper Award at the 11th International Workshop on Network-on-Chip Architectures (NoCArc) in Oct. 2018. Moreover, I serve as the TPC member and reviewer of several international conferences and journals.

I joined the faculty at the Colorado School of Mines in January 2022 and serve as Department Head of Computer Science. Before joining Mines, I was on the faculty at Brown University for 26 years and held dual appointments as Professor of Engineering and Professor of Computer Science. My research interests focus on energy-efficient and reliable computing, from the system level to device level. Most recently this includes the design of robotics systems.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at University of California, San Diego. My research spans and stretches the boundary between computer architecture and system software, with an emphasis on memory and storage systems and domain-specific acceleration. I am particularly interested in architecting emerging memory technologies (e.g., nonvolatile memories and 3D-stacked memory) into future data centers and edge computing systems that execute various applications, e.g., machine learning, big-data analytics, smart home, and smart transportation. I am also interested in developing deep learning to help computer systems design and programming.
