1 Research Statement

My research interests lie in the interface of electronic design automation (EDA), computing systems, and computer architecture. Specifically, my research focuses on improving the energy efficiency of computing systems through innovative techniques across the hardware-software stack. Differentiating themes of my research in energy-efficient computing are: (1) developing application-aware, adaptive management techniques that consider dynamically changing user and environmental constraints, (2) providing cross-layer information flow among various hardware and software layers to enable better optimization, (3) considering the complex interplay among power, performance, and temperature, while most work in the area typically considers one or two of these parameters simultaneously, and (4) focusing on emerging interdisciplinary topics such as co-design of computing systems with novel cooling technologies or data center integration into smart grid programs. The significance of my research contributions has been demonstrated in 1 book editorship, 2 book chapters, 10 accepted and published journal papers (4 additional journal papers are under review), 39 accepted and published proceedings papers in high-impact, refereed, top-notch conferences1, 8 workshop papers, and 6 issued US patents. I have given over 45 invited talks (excluding conference paper presentations) since joinin
