I am an Associate Professor in the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at Harvard University.
Prior to joining Harvard University, I was an Associate Professor at The University of Texas at Austin from 2011 to 2018. I started at Harvard University in the Spring of 2019.
My research is centered on mobile and edge-centric computing systems with a rare taste for cloud computing aspects, mostly as it pertains to edge computing or my students' interests. I direct the Edge Computing Lab. I believe in solving computing problems, rather than associating myself with a particular domain or field of computing (i.e., hardware or software). I take great pride in that, and that reflects in my research groups' training. I generally publish in Computer Architecture, Robotics and ML venues.

My teaching focuses on both hardware and software. At the freshman/sophomore level, I teach topics that are related to embedded systems and help explain their relationship to the rest of the connected world (i.e., the Internet of Things). At the junior and senior undergraduate level, I teach Computer Architecture. Going beyond that, at the graduate level, I teach courses that are focused on several edge computing aspects, which covers a variety of state-of-the-art research challenges and issues. Examples include how we design better systems for robotics, autonomous cars, drones, etc.
