After completing my undergrad studies at Delhi College of Engineering
(DCE), University of Delhi, I began my graduate
career
in Fall-2007. I now work with Rajeev
Balasubramonian and John Carter
exploring issues in computer
architecture. My focus areas are performance, memory system design, power
consumption and ease of programming for future micro-processors. As all(?) computer
architects, I generally spend most of my research time grokking at simulators.
In an another life, I worked at the
Microwave CAD lab at DCE as a research assistant developing parallel algorithms and
simulators for microwave antenna simulations. We developed a parallel algorithm for
evaluating Gabor transforms on a distributed-memory parallel machine (a Linux
cluster for e.g.). The work was published in
WORLDCOMP'07

for a local copy.
I interned at IIT-Kharagpur's Space and
Technology Cell, and, Processor Verification Group,
ST Microelectronics, Greater Noida. At these places, I worked on numerical
models for antenna simulations, and, functional verification, respectively.
I also worked on RADIUS protocol based authentication services for heterogeneous
user environment at DCE.
I am a vegetarian (trying to be vegan!), try to be environmentally conscious, and
have liberal political inclinations. I like long bike rides, hiking and Utah's outdoors in
general. I am also a Linux enthusiast and interested in way computer science is taught.
Following is a partial list of things I wrote/compiled while I was an undergrad:
1.A
Linux presentation I gave during my college's tech. fest.
2.My
short guide to which programming languages should one learn.
3.A very
short reading list for general and inspirational reading pertaining
to computer science.
4. Some project ideas I never got down to implementing.

My first experiments with the LaTeX few years ago resulted in
