I am a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, UK, working in the System-level Integration part of the Institute for Integrated Micro and Nano Systems. My supervisor is Dr T. Arslan.

Interests

• High-performance reconfigurable architectures for SoC: My research interests are in embedded reconfigurable logic and low-power VLSI hardware. Check my reseach project page
• TI Calculators at: http://sami.ticalc.org. This contains some hardware/software projects I designed a number of years ago for the range of graphics calculators from TI. A local mirror is also available.
