Primary Research Area

Computer Engineering

Research Interests

Low-power design, reconfigurable computing, platform design, dynamic optimizations, hardware design, real-time systems. Specifically, exploring challenges in leveraging Blockchain technology in Internet of Things (IoT) devices for enhanced data privacy, security, ownership, and monetization. Research focus ranges from holistic system-level layouts to per-device System-on-Chip (Soc) architectural designs considering dynamic and heterogeneous resources for low power-/energy-based Blockchain operations.
