 Resume

 

I'm a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University. I'm a member of the File Systems and Storage Lab (FSL) and affiliated with the Institute for AI-Driven Discovery and Innovtion. The primary focus of my research is the exploration and optimization of heterogeneous multi-tier storage systems.

If you see me around, ask me about my research, hobbies, or just say hello and blankly stare. I'm always looking for new opportunities and collaborations. :)

Academic Projects

  • RISC64IM CPU Core: Implementation of a fully functional processor core for the RISC64IM ISA in System Verilog. Included a 5-stage data path, set-associative L1 and L2 caches with write-back and LRU replacement policies, victim caching, translation lookaside buffers, and dynamic branch prediction.
  • Per-process system calls: Independently developed a Linux kernel-based module that enabled each process to have their own system call vector. Supported dynamically uploading new system calls and vector assignment via command line ioctl input.
  • TRFS: A stackable Linux file system based off the “wrapfs” file system used to trace file system activity, featuring record checksum validation and incremental ioctl support.
  • Designed logic programming problems for the ICLP 2016 LP/CP Programming Contest (Teaching Brackets and Subway Tickets). [ICLP 2016]

Awards
