Biography
I grew up in the state of
West Bengal in India,
partly in Durgapur and
partly in Kolkata. I received my Bachelor's
degree in
Computer
Science and Engineering from Jadavpur
University, India and my
Master's degree in
Computer Engineering from the
University of Virginia. Currently I am
pursuing a PhD in
Computer Engineering
at the University of Virginia.
Research
My research is on virtual execution
environments (VEEs) targeting embedded architectures.
Prof. Mary Lou Soffa
and Prof. Kim Hazelwood in the
Computer Science department of UVA are
my advisors. I focus on memory-
performance tradeoffs presented by different VEE designs and try to come up with
new designs for embedded
system VEEs. Currently I am using Pin, a VEE designed by Intel, for the ARM
architecture as my research tool. I
defended my Ph.D. proposal in September, 2007.
Here is my
research wiki.
