RESEARCH
INTERESTS
I am broadly interested
in design of fault-tolerant massive multi-core integrated systems that
enable pervasive,
ubiquitous computing. During my studies at The University of British
Columbia I
have characterized the performance of network-on-chip communication
structures,
developed fast, efficient post-manufacturing test methods for
network-on-chip
systems, and designed methods for achieving fault-tolerance in
networks-on-chip at link level, transport level, and
application level.
