Research     Graduate Work    Personal

I am a PhD graduate student in the Computer Science department at Duke University, where I work under the supervision of my adviser Dr. Daniel Sorin. My research is in computer architecture and I received my Masters' degree in this area in May 2007. I am part of the Duke Computer Architecture group.

Research

My research interest is in computer architecture with a particular focus on verification-aware processor design. More specifically, I investigate the impact of microarchitectural design decisions on formal verification effort and look at specific trade-offs between formal verification effort and other established metrics such as performance or power. The high level goal of this work is to make processor verification less difficult by raising verification awareness in the early stages of design. 

I am a member of the FaultFinder project.

Personal

I am originally from Romania, where I completed my undergraduate in Computer Science (University of Craiova).  I also went to high-school in Craiova at "Colegiul National Fratii Buzesti". My big brother :) is Dragos, he is an information security consultant.
