Jun 2018 - May 2021
- Investigated the use of lock-free data structures to ensure correctness and parallelism in Dynamic Binary Translation (DBT) systems, resulting in a published paper in CGO'21. - Designed a distributed system framework to scale DBT systems beyond a single machine to a cluster of machines, leading to a paper published in ICPP'20. - Contributed to the development of prefetching techniques to hide data access latency on accelerators such as GPUs and Intel SGX, leading to paper publications in Middleware'20 and ICPP'21.

Feb 2021 - Apr 2021
- Researched and developed a prototype for accelerating Dynamic Binary Translation (DBT) systems (e.g., QEMU) using SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) units in CPUs. - Resulted in up to 2.2x speedup on AArch64 to x86-64 executions. Lead to a paper published in VEE'21. - Researched and developed a prototype for accelerating Dynamic Binary Translation (DBT) systems (e.g., QEMU) using SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) units in CPUs. - Resulted in up to 2.2x speedup on AArch64 to x86-64 executions.
