Summary

I am an ECE master's student at UIUC, specializing in digital hardware design. My interests span RTL design, physical implementation, and hardware verification. With hands-on experience in developing RISC-V processors, cache design, and circuit tapeout, I am seeking opportunities that align with these technical areas and allow me to contribute to innovative hardware solutions.
