Yuvraj Agarwal, UC San Diego

Yuvraj Agarwal is a Research Scientist in the CSE department at UC San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Sept 2009 from UC San Diego, doing research in the area of power and energy management. His earlier work looks at mobile platforms with multiple radios, exploring techniques that use the diversity provided by these heterogeneous radios in order to improve battery lifetime. His recent work looks at innovative ways to save energy in mains-powered devices such as desktop PCs and servers by enabling them to "talkin-their-sleep". He is currently leading an effort in CSE to setup a fine grained energy monitoring and mangement infrastructure for the department building as part of a larger campus wide energy effort (http://energy.ucsd.edu). His areas of interest are at the intersection of Systems and Networking and Embedded Systems, and he is particularly excited about resource problems that benefit from using hardware insights to build scalable and efficient systems.
