I have been a Research Staff Member at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center since September 2006.  My main research interests are multi-core processor design, energy-efficient architecture, performance and power modeling, FPGA prototyping, and VLSI design.  I have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, a M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, also from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  Previously at MIT, I was a student member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and was working on the SCALE project which is investigating advanced architectures for energy-efficient high-performance computing with Professor Krste Asanović.
