About

Hello! I’m a fourth-year PhD candidate in Computer Science at Northwestern University, working with Professor Simone Campanoni in the ARCANA Lab. I research compilers and runtime techniques for parallel and heterogeneous systems. My work focuses on enabling developers to write high-level, architecture-agnostic parallel programs while generating efficient and portable binaries across diverse hardware platforms. I build compiler infrastructures and scheduling frameworks that lower the barrier to performance portability, making high-performance computing more accessible to a broader range of programmers and researchers. My broader interests include parallelizing compilers, static and dynamic program analysis, and compiler optimizations designed to scale with growing program complexity and hardware diversity.
