Graduate Student Researcher • September 2022 - Present

I am a member of the Alternative Computing Technologies (ACT) Laboratory led by Hadi Esmaeilzadeh working on compilers for cross-domain applications and multi-target compilation.

Intel

Graduate Technical Intern - Pre-Silicon Validation • May 2022 - August 2022

I developed Python scripts to automate waveform organization by parsing regression logs and collecting relevant signals related to failures, streamlining the debugging process for engineers. Additionally, I implemented formal verification properties in SystemVerilog to ensure the correctness of a finite state machine (FSM).

Undergraduate Technical Intern - Pre-Silicon Validation • May 2021 - July 2021

I wrote directed tests and checkers in SystemVerilog to verify a specific IP’s compliance with architectural specifications. Additionally, I learned and applied software development practices such as test-driven development and clean coding to write maintainable and robust code.

Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division

Student Trainee • May 2020 - August 2020

I designed and implemented an I2C slave device in Verilog. I researched the I2C protocol to understand the requirements, created block diagrams for each module, and implemented the design in Verilog. I also completed basic training modules in areas such as SystemVerilog, UVM, and functional verification.
