I am currently working for the Cortana team at Microsoft Corporation. I have graduated from Princeton University with a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering (Spring 2012). During my Ph.D., I spent three years at MIT as a research scholar, advised by Prof. Li-Shiuan Peh. My graduate research was on fault-tolerant Chip Multi-Processors and Network-on-Chip architectures.

Tool Release : A Fault Modeling Tool for NoCs.
