I am a Ph.D. candidate studying in NUCAR lab at Northeastern University under the guidance of Dr. David Kaeli.

My research focuses on designing hardware accelerators for sparse graph workloads.

My expertise lies in:

• Computer Architecture Simulator Design
• Graph Neural Network Accelerators
• Sparse Matrix Accelerators
• Homomorphic Encryption Accelerators
• GPU Kernel Designs

What is KTB Wiki?

This website was built on KTB Wiki. KTB wiki is my side project/attempt to consolidate knowledge gained during my Ph.D. journey. Though many other platforms provide similar service, the process of creating KTB Wiki was a learning experience since it taught me concepts indexing, load balancing, and in-memory file systems. KTB Wiki was built using MediaWiki and is intended for research purposes only.

KTB Wiki, because the best way to store your knowledge is in an indexed SQL database.
