Anubhav Bhatla
First-year Ph.D. Student, EECS, MIT
Cambridge, Massachusetts
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 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 the reliability of accelerators against silent data corruptions, and have previously explored hardware security, designing cache structures to ensure security against various side-channel attacks.
Outside of academics, I enjoy going to the gym, reading books (mostly fiction) and playing 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
In pursuit of these interests, I have been a part of the following research groups:
