I recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) with my B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (May 2026) and am currently continuing my education in the ECE M.S. program (expected May 2027). During my undergraduate career, I was honored to receive the CMU Senior Leadership Recognition Award and was a 6-time Dean’s List recipient.
My academic concentration centers on:
- Computer Architecture: Designing pipelined processors, memory hierarchies, and accelerators.
- Digital VLSI/IC Design: Translating logic layouts from RTL through synthesis, placement & routing, and verification to tapeout.
- Reconfigurable Computing: Utilizing FPGAs and custom execution units to build highly accelerated hardware engines.
For a full semester-by-semester breakdown of all ECE, computer science, mathematics, and elective courses I have completed, see the CMU List of Classes.
teaching & leadership
At CMU, I dedicated substantial time to supporting introductory ECE education:
-
Head Teaching Assistant, 18-100 (Intro to ECE): Directed a staff of 40 TAs to coordinate labs, recitations, grading, and office hours for over 180 students.
- Developed custom recitation materials and resources:
- Teaching Assistant, 18-100: Conducted recitations, led lab sections, and supported student learning in office hours.
campus life & clubs
- Carnegie Involvement Association (CIA) Buggy: Active pusher, mechanic, and treasurer for CIA Buggy. Buggy is a unique CMU tradition involving student-built aerodynamic sweepstakes vehicles raced relay-style around Schenley Park (see Buggy Explained).
- Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE): Served as an academic mentor, guiding younger students through coursework selection, internship searches, and campus life transitions.
