I am an Associate Professor in the ECE Department at Rutgers University. Previously, I had been an Assistant Professor in the CSE Department at University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and a Research Scientist at Adobe Research. I obtained my PhD in CS from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2013, under the supervision of Prof. Miodrag Potkonjak. My research mainly focuses on hardware security and multimedia systems, especially on improving the security of heterogeneous system architectures and the performance, power, and security of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems. I am a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award in 2018. My research has been recognized with Best Paper Awards at MMSys 2020 and ICCD 2016, and Best Paper Nominations at HOST 2018, MM 2016, and DAC 2014.
