I am an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona, where I do research and teach in the general areas of computer architecture and embedded systems design and optimization. My work focuses on creating efficient systems that address the evolving challenges of modern computing.

I received my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Florida (UF) in 2015, following an MS from UF, B.Eng from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, work as a software developer in Kuwait, and a fair amount of travel in between. My professional background includes a Research Associate internship at HP Labs, where I collaborated with the Chief Engineer, Chandrakant Patel, on research on microprocessor optimizations for IoT applications.

In 2019, I received the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award for my research on runtime adaptable STTRAM cache memories.

Beyond the lab, I am energized by bridging the gap between technical innovation and real-world implementation. I frequently engage with media, industry leaders, and non-technical audiences to discuss the broader societal and energy implications of emerging technologies, translating complex technical concepts into strategic clarity.

I am an avid traveler and musician who enjoys playing the keyboard and bass guitar, reading non-fiction, writing, thinking about random stuff, and having conversations with random strangers in airports.
