Hi! I am Bakshree Mishra and I am a 4th year PhD Candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. My primary area of interest is in computer architecture for next-gen algorithms and computations, and I work under the supervision of Prof. Sarita Adve.

I am highly interested in hardware-software for emerging workloads in areas including, but not restricted to, extended reality (XR) and machine learning (MLSys). My recent research has involved evaluating and addressing bottlenecks in fine-grained acceleration of workloads in various domains (XR, autonomous driving and ML) using on-chip heterogeneous accelerators in shared memory SoCs.

Prior to this, I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer + IP Logic Design Engineer at Intel, where I worked on analyzing ML algorithms and accelerating them in hardware. I have created custom architectures for CNNs as well as traditional ML classifiers, as well as created a Context Aware Voice/NLP agent. On the hardware side, I have owned and designed modules going into both FPGA and SOCs.

I completed my undergrad at College of Engineering and Technology, Bhubaneswar and my Masters from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, majoring in Computer Science. My Masters research on Real-time computer vision-based Pedestrian Detection Systems was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Bansidhar Majhi.
