I primarily work on asynchronous VLSI (link is external) design and architecture. I am also interested in a number of other subjects including concurrency, formal methods, programming language semantics, information theory, and cognitive systems. My teaching over the years (link is external) has been in the general area of computer systems. I am teaching EENG 348/CPSC 338 (link is external) in Spring 2019. Prior to joining Yale, I was on the Cornell faculty from 1998 to 2016 where I received the Tau Beta Pi and Cornell Society of Engineers Excellence in Teaching Award (2000), the IEEE Teacher of the Year Award (2001), the Sonny Yau ‘72 Excellence in Teaching Award (2001), the Michael Tien ‘72 Excellence in Teaching Award (2004), the Ruth and Joel Spira Excellence in Teaching Award (2005, 2009), the Kenneth A. Goldman ‘71 Excellence in Teaching Award (2012), and the Cornell Tech Professor of the Year Award (2016). I was named a Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow (link is external)(2014)—Cornell’s highest teaching award—for “a sustained record of effective, inspiring, and distinguished teaching of undergraduate students.”
