My research is highly interdisciplinary and spans both Computer Science and Computer Engineering. Specific research interests include developing computer-aided design tools to efficiently map digital hardware designs onto FPGAs, developing novel methods based on machine-learning, deep-learning, and reinforcement learning to solve key optimization problems within FPGA flows, reconfigurable computing, hardware acceleration, and parallel programming.
