Research Statement Memory Microarchitecture

I am broadly interested in computer architecture and VLSI circuits with particular emphasis on memory systems, multicore and multithreaded systems, and reconfigurable systems. My research work during my PhD study at University of Connecticut is motivated by many emerging challenges of continued technology scaling for future generations of computing systems. These challenges include reliability, performance, power, and chip security, etc. As many of them are closely related to and even conflicting with each other, it is difficult to find solutions that can address all these challenges in a satisfactory way. The goal of my research aims at finding solutions to the challenges in a unified manner. I have proposed novel techniques in this direction and published 17 papers in journals and conferences. In this statement, I briefly summarize the contributions of my prior work and plans for my future research.
