I am a Ph.D. student in the [http://www.ece.umn.edu Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering] at the [http://www.umn.edu University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus].

== Research ==

I am pursuing research on the following topics:
*[[Stochastic Logic Computation]]
*[[Synthesizing Stochastic Logic]]
*[[Analyzing Circuit with Noisy Gates]]

I am also interested in traditional [[References#Logic_Synthesis|logic synthesis]] and look forward to exploring some interesting problems in that area.
