I am working on the SRC-sponsored "SuperSwitch Controller" project. Specifically, I designed the first generation SuperSwitch controller ASIC and will develop the next generation ASIC and control platform as part of the SRC program. The SuperFabric Switch Controller chip will feature an array of high-voltage drivers capable of controlling a large-radix optical switch (up to 1024 radix in multi-chiplet configuration), and a specialized array addressing scheme that minimizes the total… Show more I am working on the SRC-sponsored "SuperSwitch Controller" project.

The SuperFabric Switch Controller chip will feature an array of high-voltage drivers capable of controlling a large-radix optical switch (up to 1024 radix in multi-chiplet configuration), and a specialized array addressing scheme that minimizes the total switch programming latency to a fraction of the switch mechanical delay (sub-1us target switching time), and consuming less than 1W of power (for 1024 radix) – i.e. 0.25-0.5mW/port, independent of port bandwidth.

May 2015 - Aug 2015
Boise, Idaho Interned in the Non-volatile engineering group at Micron Technology in Boise, Idaho. I helped solve several problems encountered by one of Micron's 3D NAND products. As a result, I have become very comfortable with the NAND architecture and most of the physics behind its operation. In addition, I have gained valuable insight into how a world-class technology manufacturer interacts with the global economy.

May 2014 - Aug 2014
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area Conducted research in the Nanomechanics and Nanoengineering Laboratory at North Carolina State University. I researched the mechanisms for triboelectric energy harvesting and fabricated several devices to implement this harvesting on the human body. The ultimate goal was to find a better way to harvest energy for low power wearable sensors.
