My research interests span the areas of compilers, programming langauges and high-performance computing. I am particularly interested in solving performance and correctness challenges arise from the irregularity in computations.
My work spans following threads: control-flow regularization to improve performance and program analysis, building compiler infrastructure for sparse tensor computations, and developing principled approaches for transforming and optimizing recursive programs. See my Research page for more.
Brief Bio
I received my PhD from Purdue University where I was fortunate enough to advised by Milind Kulkarni. I was part of PurPL at Purdue University. I earned my Bachelor’s in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering from University of Moratuwa.
