Bio

I'm a graduate student in MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).  Specifically, I am a member of the Computer Architecture Group (CAG). I am currently working toward my PhD as a member of the COMMIT (COMpilers at MIT) subgroup headed by Saman Amarasinghe. My current research focuses on compilation techniques for the StreamIt programming language being developed under Professor Amarasinghe. I received my MS from MIT (August 2002) in Computer Science and my BS from Rutgers University (May 2000) in Computer Science.
