I’m a third-year Ph.D. student at UW CSE. I work with the Sampa group on languages for parallel and low-power architectures. In particular, I’m currently most interested in programming models that trade off correctness guarantees for energy efficiency. Most recently, I worked on the EnerJ approximation-aware programming language.
I graduated from Harvey Mudd College in 2009. In the summer of 2010, I was at Qualcomm BARD working on mobile performance and power. This quarter, I’m the TA for Dan Grossman’s CSE 505 (graduate programming languages) course. Here’s my CV.
Measuring Smartphone Energy on a Budget
(December 9, 2011)For a recent research project, I measured the power consumption of a smartphone. I am clueless when it comes to electronics and I didn’t want to drop a lot of (my advisor’s) cash, so I needed a simple, relatively cheap setup to get reasonable power measurements. This post describes how you can get a similar apparatus up and running with a custom Python library I wrote for controlling a DC power supply.
