I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) with my B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (May 2026) and am continuing in the ECE M.S. program (expected May 2027). During my undergraduate studies, I received the CMU Senior Leadership Recognition Award and was a 6-time Dean’s List recipient.
My academic concentration covers:
- Computer Architecture: Designing pipelined processors, memory hierarchies, and hardware accelerators.
- Digital VLSI/IC Design: Translating RTL logic through synthesis, place & route, and sign-off verification for silicon tapeout.
- Reconfigurable Computing: Utilizing FPGAs and custom execution units for hardware acceleration.
For a full breakdown of all ECE, computer science, mathematics, and elective courses I have completed, see the CMU List of Classes.
