In Jan 2008, I joined Sun Microsystems, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation in Santa Clara, CA. I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Professor James C. Hoe. I received the A. G. Jordan award in May, 2008. Previously, I received an M.S. (2002) and B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering with University Honors (2001), also from Carnegie Mellon University.

My research interests include RAS hardware, microarchitecture, multiprocessor architecture, performance modeling and simulation, and anything involving computers that outweigh me.

I grew up in Wayne, PA. I spent just over a decade in beautiful, inexpensive, sunny Pittsburgh, PA. I am now residing somewhere in Silicon Valley, California.
