I do programming languages and computer architecture. I like research that breaks down abstraction barriers and rethinks the hardware–software interface. I worked on approximate computing, the idea that computers can be more efficient if we let them make mistakes. See what’s going on in my research group, which is called Capra.

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University, where I am part of the Computer Systems Laboratory and the programming languages group. I graduated from the University of Washington in 2015. Here’s my CV.

From Hardware Description Languages to Accelerator Design Languages

An emerging class of programming languages aims to make it easier to design application-specific hardware accelerators. Relative to mainstream hardware description languages (HDLs), these new languages sacrifice the ability to express arbitrary circuitry in exchange for a higher level of abstraction specifically for accelerators. This post defines this new category of accelerator design languages (ADLs) and calls for more research on their design.
