Career Profile
I am a PhD student at the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, advised by Prof. Alaa Alameldeen. I have also earned my Master’s degree under his supervision in 2024. Currently, my research focuses on optimizing the microarchitecture structures for heavily multithreaded workloads for data centers. My main research interests are Computer Architecture and Systems. My previous experience includes working with domain-specific accelerators on FPGAs and ASIC. I am a systems enthusiast and a loving husband.
Experiences
I am a research assistant at the Memory Architecture Group at the CS School. Currently, I work on studying and optimizing micro-architecture structures for heavily multi-threaded workloads for data centers servers. The project is funded by Intel.
I was part of the Opto-Nano-Electronic (ONE) Research Group, where I worked on two projects:
- Project #1: Implementing low-energy acceleration system for thermal images classifiers on Xilinx ZCU104 using Xilinx Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
- Project #2: Investigating UCB Rocket Chip as a part of intensive exploration for further studies as a step towards implementing a Domain-Specific accelerator.
I had a 6-month internship at the SCALE Lab at the ECE School. I worked on a hardware/software co-design implementation of 3D Face Recognition for Biometric Security System. The system included the use of deep CNN, OpenCV, FPGA acceleration, and Computer Vision.
I had a 3-month internship at ONE Lab. I worked on a comparative study between ASIC and FPGA implementations of CAESAR Cryptography Competition submissions.
