Welcome to my Cyber Space

My research interests focus on the use of (embedded) heterogeneous [gpu, cpu, FPGA] systems in the design of high performance accelerators for HPC, affordable health care, security of cyberphysical systems and [more recently] quantum computing. I lead the Systems Activities [Transpiler and Pulse Generation] of the Quantum Computer Project at IIT Delhi funded by the National Quantum Mission. I am always in the lookout for folks who are interested in a doing a PhD.I will only respond to emails requesting for positions in my group if the email has the word “hollings” in the salutation — the word is an anagram for where I spent the first part of my life and is part of my sweetest memories. I am looking for students who would line to work in the general area of Computer Architecture and Embedded Systems.

I am specifically looking for PhD and MSR students to work in the area of Quantum Logic Synthesis and Quantum Compilers as we explore the use of Unconventional Computing Paradigms to build/explore low energy efficient solutions.

On the systems side, we are looking at making systems secure using a combination of new architecture [HSM] primitives and TEE to provide enhanced cyber resilience in different verticals.

Currently, I have a number [at least 5] of PhD positions open – some are Institute funded and some are Industry funded. In case you have an interest in accelerating applications using a mix of FPGAs and GPUs, please do write to me with hollingsAcc in the subject line.

If you have interest in developing FPGA based solutions to work in the context of Error Correction and control signal generation for a Quantum processor OR in the general area of Quantum Compilation, please send me an email with a one paragraph summary of what is described in this site with the hollingsQC in the subject line.

In general, prospective PhD and MSR Students interested in “building” things will work in the context of systems in different verticals. I have an opening for a student to work in the area of embedded security. If you are interested in the area of securing embedded systems, please send me an email with a one paragraph summary of what is described in this site with the hollingsES in the subject line.

If your interest lies in the area of healthcare, please send me an email with a one paragraph summary of what is described in this site with the hollingsHC in the subject line.
