About me

I am a 2nd-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

I am co-advised by Prof. Sasa Misailovic and Prof. Vikram S. Adve.

My research interest is in programming languages, currently focusing on approximate computing, compiler stack for heterogeneous computing, and a mindful blend of both.
