I am a researcher working on computer systems, with a focus on high-performance computing, power management, and performance optimization of modern CPU/GPU systems.

My research focuses on improving power efficiency (performance/watt) by exploiting techniques such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), uncore frequency scaling, power capping, and runtime-level power management. I characterize diverse workloads using hardware performance counters and design adaptive runtime systems that respond to application behavior.

My work spans co-running HPC workloads, multicore and multiprocessor systems, CPU/GPU performance analysis, and resource management under power constraints. I am particularly interested in the interaction between workload characteristics, processor frequency settings, power budgets, throughput, and fairness.
