+I am a PhD candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a member of the [IMPACT Research Group](http://impact.crhc.illinois.edu/) led by Wen-Mei Hwu.
+
+I am working on multi-GPU communication and scaling as part of the joint UIUC / IBM C3SR cognitive computing systems research center. The focus of these activities is to apply tools and techniques developed in the IMPACT group to improve the performance of real-world applications.

+## Teaching
+
+- 2018 Spring University of Illinois Project TA for ECE408/CS483
+- 2017 Fall University of Illinois Head TA for ECE408/CS483
+- 2017-2018 University of Illinois [Mavis Future Faculty Fellow](http://publish.illinois.edu/engr-mavis/2017-2018-mavis-fellows/).
+- 2015 Fall University of Illinois TA for ECE408
+
+I have been a teaching assistant for the following courses:
+
+- ECE408/CS483: Heterogeneous Parallel Programming at the University of Illinois
+- E155: Microprocesser-based Systems: Design & Applications at Harvey Mudd College 
+- E85: Digital Electronics and Computer Architecture at Harvey Mudd College
+
+I have also been a teaching assistant for the Programming and Tuning Massively Parallel Systems
+[(PUMPS)](http://bcw.ac.upc.edu/PUMPS2017/) summer school in Barcelona since 2014.
+
+I have also mentored undergraduates and a high school student, who is a co-author on two papers.
+
+During the Mavis fellowship, I administered the ECE 408 GPU programming project in spring 2018. I created
+
+* Four lectures on machine learning ([1][l1], [2][l2], [3][l3], [4][l4])
+* A [course project][project_repo] where students add a GPU convolution operator to MXNet.
+* Project kickoff [slides][kickoff-slides] ([repo][kickoff-repo]).
