I am an associate professor in the Computer Science Department of the School of Computing at NUS. We work to build new hardware and software designs that improve the performance and security of computing systems, while still maintaining efficiency. The foundation for our architecture research comes from our experience and continued research in fast and accurate simulation methodologies and analytical modeling (See the Sniper Multi-Core Simulator for more details).

If you are interested in conducting research on secure computing platforms, AI accelerators, programmable hardware, or simulation methodologies, see our open positions page and application process and deadlines for details.
