I was a graduate student in the Computer Architecture Lab at Carnegie Mellon (CALCM), where I worked on the TRUSS project. The goal of TRUSS is a reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient multiprocessor. See publications below for further details.
My advisor was Babak Falsafi, and I also worked closely with Professors James Hoe, Ken Mai, Anastassia Ailamaki, and their many students.
