About Me

I am currently a student at UBC, pursuing a PhD in computer engineering under the supervision and support of Sasha Fedorova. I am a member of the Systopia lab which is a loosely-knit group of systems researchers spanning the computer science and electrical engineering departments at UBC.

What I Do

I work on operating systems and related technologies. In the past, I have worked on projects in processing-in-memory, virtualization, file systems and drivers. Currently, I am looking at how to build an operating system from autonomous devices that does not require a CPU.
