UC Berkeley & Dartmouth

Masters & Bachelors in Electrical Engineering

At UC Berkeley, I researched methods to quickly compute the non‑uniform Fast Fourier Transform on GPUs — this algorithm is used in image reconstruction for MRI, optics, and other domains.

By taking inspiration from FFTW and auto-tuning the algorithm’s parameters, my implementation achieved speedups of 2–10x over existing solutions.

Previously, I studied electrical engineering in college, with research projects focused on signal processing.
