Research Experience

Hewlett Packard Enterprise - Research Associate Intern
Summer 2024, HeteroBench
Developed a benchmark suite for heterogeneous computing systems across CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators. The work focused on workload design, profiling, scalability measurement, and analysis of performance variability across diverse execution strategies.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise - Research Associate Intern
Summer 2023, CoVA
Built an MLIR-based compilation flow for heterogeneous backend devices. The work included custom dialect design, MLIR-to-LLVM lowering, Python binding integration, and transformations targeting CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.

IMBED LLC - Development Engineer Trainee
Fall 2021
Designed components for a real-time JPEG2000 player for digital cinema applications, with emphasis on FPGA implementation of the MQ entropy decoder.
