 Hello! I joined NVIDIA Research in July 2021 after completing my PhD at Carnegie Mellon University. My research interests are in designing architecture support for optimizing sparse, irregular workloads (for example, graph analytics). More information about my research can be found at my website (<https://bvignesh.github.io/>)
