First you build your castles in the air, then you build the foundations under them. -- Henry David Thoreau

I'm a sixth year graduate student at the University of Wisconsin studying Computer Architecture.  I'm part of the PHARM research group and I'm co-advised by Mikko Lipasti and Li-Shiuan Peh (of Princeton University).  I will be graduating in December 2008 and joining the faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto in January 2009.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in 2002 from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN.
Prior to that I attended an all-girls private school (Kent Place) in Summit, NJ. I have a great deal of affection for my alma mater and my experiences there did a great deal to shape who I am today.

My research interests include multi-core architectures and architectural support for virtual machines and operating systems. Scalable cache coherence protocols and on-chip interconnection networks require new innovations to support many-core architectures. My thesis research has specifically focused on interconnection network performance and on-chip communication behavior of commercial and server consolidation workloads.

I will be joining the faculty at the University of Toronto in January.
