Hey! I am Anubhav, a first-year EECS Ph.D. student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Prof. Mengjia Yan. I previously completed my Bachelors and Masters from the Department of the Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay, with Prof. Biswabandan Panda as my thesis advisor.

I am deeply interested in the research area of Computer Architecture, which involves a good mix of fascinating topics in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am currently working on research topics in Reliability of accelerators against silent data corruptions. I have previously explored Hardware Security, designing cache structures to ensure security against various side-channel attacks and branch predictor partitioning techniques for security and performance.

Outside of academics, I enjoy going to the gym, reading books (mostly fiction) and play sports such as tennis, squash, and badminton. I have also completed one year of training under the National Cadet Corps (NCC) at IIT Bombay.

Research Interests:

  • Computer Systems and Architecture
  • Reliability
  • Hardware Security

In pursuit of these interests, I have been a part of the following research groups:
