I am a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). I belong to the Computation Structures Group.

My research interests include VLSI design, computer-aided design, computer architecture, hardware validation, network router hardware, computer security, and computational biology. One recent project I was involved with was building Aegis, a secure hardware processor that uses Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) to generate secret keys from chip fabrication variations.

Currently, my research group is working on trusted virtual computation and secure virtual storage as part of the Quanta T-Party project at MIT, on novel on-chip networks and routing algorithms, and have begun building EM2, an Execution Migration Machine. EM2 uses deadlock-free computation migration to provide a shared memory abstraction without requiring directories and uses an intelligent predictor to determine when to migrate computation versus data.

I am also involved in the Angstrom project. Angstrom is a proposed 1000-core self-aware processor.


I served as the chair of Area II (Computer Science Graduate Program) from June 2003 to November 2005, and as the Research Director of Architecture, Systems and Networking within CSAIL from September 2003 to October 2005. I served as Associate Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with responsibility for Computer Science from 2005 to 2011.
