NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program

"I majored in computer science with a computer engineering minor here at UP. My research aims to improve the sustainability of future computing systems without sacrificing performance and energy efficiency. Specifically, my work develops methods to maximize device lifetimes by increasing the potential applications of computer hardware in order to amortize the environmental impact of manufacturing and electronic waste. For the last year I've collaborated with researchers at Carnegie Mellon and University of Michigan to explore methods to increase the performance of modern computing systems without restricting the application of devices to a limited domain by allowing programmers to specialize data movement throughout computer memory hierarchies. MY NSF GRFP proposal extends this project by exposing more control to the programmer and proposing additional general-purpose acceleration methods to improve performance and energy efficiency of modern computer systems. After UP, I will be pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon and continue exploring methods to improve the sustainability of future computing systems."
