Advised by Prof. Natalie Enright Jerger. Research focused on exploiting silicon interposer technology to disintegrate and reintegrate multi-chip processor systems, with an emphasis on network-on-chip design for interposer-based architectures. Thesis work led to publications at MICRO-47, MICRO-48, and selection for IEEE MICRO Top Picks 2016.

Internships at Qualcomm (USB drivers for MDM9x25/MSM8x30 chipsets), the Indian Institute of Science (Kannada transliteration on Android), and the Raman Research Institute (LCD backlighting). Final-year project work with Aditya Ponnada led to a paper at ICACCI 2012 on mobile game usability.
