My research interests lie primarily in the design of performance-, energy-, and/or cost-optimized computing engines for various applications domains. Most of my work thus far has been on high-performance general-purpose systems.My current work emphasizes highly-specialized computing engines for Deep Learning. I will also be serving as the Director of the newly formed National Sciences and Engineering Research Council Strategic Partnership Network on Machine Learning Hardware Acceleration (NSERC COHESA), a partnership of 19 Researchers across 7 Universities involving 8 Industrial Partners.
