Nada Abdalgawad

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Dr. Ronald Dreslinski. My research is in computer architecture, with a focus on memory systems. I earned my B.S. in Computer Engineering from the American University of Sharjah (AUS), where I published research in computer security, machine learning, and FPGAs.
