About

I am currently working in AMD GPU Graphics team as Sr. Silicon Design Engineer.
I am part of the cache and memory management (CMM) subsytem for the next generation of AMD GPUs.

Prior to that I was a grad student at the SoC lab in the University of British Columbia, working with Professor Mieszko Lis and Professor Lutz Lampe.
My research mainly focused on:
1) Hadware accelerators for 5G systems.
2) Hadware accelerators for Machine Learning workloads.
