About Me

Hi there! My name is Arjun Tyagi. I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign working with Prof. Saugata Ghose. My research interests are in the broad area of computer architecture, with particular interest in memory systems and processing-using-memory (PUM) architectures.

Prior to coming to Illinois, I received my B.E. degree in Electronics and Instruments from Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani. During my undergrad, I worked with Prof. Shahar Kvatinsky at Technion and Prof. Shubham Sahay at IIT Kanpur on a variety of research projects ranging from energy-efficient machine learning to processing-in/using-memory.
