His research explores automata processing for hardware acceleration, deterministic/non-deterministic finite automata for accelerators, and resiliency in autonomous vehicles. He develops tools like MNRL Network Representation Language, AutomataSynth, and RAPID Compiler for pattern-matching applications.

Recent publications focus on hardware fault tolerance, autonomous system repair, and automata-based programming. Key conferences include ASPLOS, IEEE MICRO, and ICCPS. Awards include a $1.2M NSF grant (2022), TECHCON 2016 Best in Session, and Mac Krell Fellowship (2014–2017).

He co-advises research projects and maintains the CS Grad Job and Interview Guide, a collaborative resource for academic career preparation. His lab works on open-source state machine ecosystems and hardware-software co-design frameworks.
