She received her BS, MS, and PhD degrees from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northwestern University in 1998, 2000, and 2003, respectively. Her research interests include heterogeneous, GPGPU , and reconfigurable computing systems—in particular the subject of resource management. She is also interested in the architecture of these systems. She has been the program chair of the IEEE Conference on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM), and the ACM /SIGDA Symposium on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). She was recently the General Chair for FPGA as well, and is currently one of the publicity chairs for the International Conference on Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL) to be held in Oslo in August.
