About

Adaptive and efficient AI

I'm a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. I study how AI systems can keep learning as data changes, within practical memory and computation budgets.

My research connects continual learning and efficient inference, from learning algorithms and compact representations to hardware-aware implementation.

Advised by Siddharth Joshi in the Intelligent Microsystems Lab.

Previously, I worked at TCS Research on neuromorphic computing, online learning, and deployment on specialized hardware.

Efficient continual learning

Retaining knowledge. Preserving the capacity to learn.

My current research asks how fixed-capacity models can retain useful knowledge and remain able to learn over long sequences of changing tasks. I'm particularly interested in continual learning with bounded auxiliary memory, the balance between stability and plasticity, and learning rules suited to resource-constrained hardware.

Efficient inference

Compression that translates into efficient execution.

My work connects low-bit quantization and lossless compression with the kernels and architectures that execute them. The goal is to turn smaller representations into lower memory traffic and faster inference, while accounting for accuracy.

Hardware–software co-design

Designing with memory, precision, and computation in mind.

I study how numerical precision, memory organization, and hardware non-idealities shape the design of efficient AI systems. My work connects model-level evaluation with mixed-signal computation, compute-in-memory architectures, and neuromorphic applications.
