About Me

I am an Assistant Professor at IIIT Hyderabad since September 2019.
Prior to this, I have been a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Pennsylvania working with Prof Insup Lee, and at Embedded Systems Engineering Section of DTU Informatics and Hardware Software Codesign Department of University of Erlangen, Nuremberg.

I obtained my PhD degree in School of Computing at National University of Singapore and was advised by Prof Roger Zimmermann. My PhD thesis title was Quality-aware performance analysis of multimedia MPSoC platforms.

Prior to my PhD, I have conducted research on Hardware-efficient reconfigurable architectures for image processing algorithms.
I also worked as a Senior Design Engineer at Conexant Systems Inc., where I was involved in design and verification of ASIC and FPGA IP cores for optical communication protocols.
Prior to that, I obtained a degree in Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication from College of Engineering, Trivandrum, India.
