I am a fifth year Ph.D student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University. I am a member of Computer Architecture Research Lab lead by Radu Teodorescu. My research spans over Computer Architecture, Performance Optimization and Secure AI via Trusted Execution Environments. Currently, I am more focused on performance improvements on both ML training and inference while keeping the user data and ML model protected.
