Jennifer Brana
I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I am advised by Professor Nathan Beckmann and a member of CORGi@CMU and the Parallel Data Lab. I am supported by a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
My research interests lie in computer architecture and parallel computing, specifically in the design and optimization of highly parallel architectures and memory systems. In the past, I've work on near-data processing at AMD Research and at CMU through my work on Polymorphic Cache Hierarchies.
I did my undergrad in computer science and computer engineering at the University of Portland. During my undergrad, I worked with Nathan Beckmann at Carnegie Mellon University as part of REUSE. I designed and formally verified a novel cache coherence protocol for near-cache accelerators and researched design methodologies for non-standard coherence protocols.
