About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor where I am advised by Professor Valeria Bertacco. I am member of the Computer Engineering Lab (CE Lab) and affiliated with the Applications Driving Architectures (ADA) center. I received my bachelor’s degree from Addis Ababa Institute of Technology, Addis Ababa.
I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and raised in Hawassa, a small town in southern Ethiopia. You can find more about me here.
My research spans the area of computer architecture, particularly focusing on the acceleration of data-centered applications. I am currently working on addressing the inefficient execution of irregular workloads on GPUs via a custom memory subsystem. Priorly, I have been working on alleviating interconnect traffic bottlenecks in processing-in-memory based graph execution [ISLPED' 19, DATE'20].
