My research area is computer architecture. I have been teaching computer architecture,
VLSI and software systems classes since 1988. I have also advised a number of graduate
students on their theses/dissertations, and several of my students have gone on into
industry development, industry research, and academia. I have also been a founder of
several startups in the general area of VLSI and computer architecture. I am happy to serve
