Hello! I'm Michael.
I am an Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D. student at Cornell University and a researcher in the Cornell Computer Systems Laboratory, co-advised by Professor Udit Gupta and Professor G. Edward Suh. Before Cornell, I earned a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Northeastern University, where I was advised by Professor David Kaeli at the NUCAR Laboratory.
I believe we are in an era of computing where the pace of emerging workloads and hardware advancements outstrips our ability to effectively utilize them. I am interested in building flexible, adaptive systems and software stacks that are resilient to this level of dynamism and heterogeneity. I am also interested in finding creative hardware–software co-design solutions that better align the capabilities of underlying hardware with modern computing paradigms.
My research intersts broadly lie within the areas of: Computer Architecture, Computer Systems, Machine Learning, Security & Privacy
