Hi, I'm Kazi 👋
I architect and evaluate next-generation processors, driving architectural and microarchitectural innovation from early-stage research and performance exploration to practical, silicon-ready designs.
About
I am currently a CPU Architect at Intel, working on the architecture and performance of next-generation processors. I help define future performance-focused x86 ISA extensions and drive microarchitectural innovations from early exploration toward practical processor designs.
I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University under Prof. Amro Awad, focusing on secure and reliable computer architecture — especially the security and reliability of emerging Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). I also led a major task in a DARPA project designing FPGA-based secure memory architectures. My research has been published in top-tier venues including ISCA, MICRO, and HPCA — see my publications and Google Scholar page.
