Introduction:

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, UK. I have been with the APT group since September 2012, supervised by Dr. Jim Garside and Dr. Javier Navaridas Palma.

Main research areas:

Asynchronous circuit design

Networks-on-chip (NoCs)

Fault-tolerance and fault-tolerant asynchronous circuits
