Summary

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Boston University’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, working with the Performance and Energy-Aware Computing Lab (PEACLab) led by Prof. Ayşe Coşkun. My work centers on building sustainable, grid-interactive AI infrastructure by bridging computer systems, energy systems, and climate-aligned operational strategies. I design data-center-scale frameworks, tools, and control mechanisms that make AI workloads power-aware, demand-responsive, and carbon-optimized, demonstrating that traditional, efficiency-agnostic approaches to AI and HPC computing are incompatible with rapidly growing AI demand, constrained energy availability, and net-zero carbon requirements. To address this gap, I develop new abstractions, metrics, runtime controllers, and multi-data-center coordination mechanisms that embed sustainability as a first-class design principle in modern computing systems.

Experience

Prior to joining Boston University as a post-doctoral researcher in 2024, I held several roles in the industry from 2013 to 2021. I served as a Power Management Architect at AMD, Power/Thermal Architect at Samsung Austin Research Center (SARC) and Post-silicon Power/Thermal Optimization Engineer at Qualcomm. I was also the founder of a startup company, where I built SaaS solutions for financial institutions and retail investors. I successfully exited my startup in 2023. I hold a PhD degree in Computer Engineering from Boston University (2015) and a MSc degree (2010) in Electrical & Computer Engineering from University of Southern California.
